So Long Bolivia

Since you last heard from me, I´ve been to the pleasant city of Sucre, which is a rich (by Bolivian standards), pretty colonial city. Went to a dinosaur museum and a cool old castle.

Then it was on to the silver mining town of Potosi. Pretty crazy place, you could tell that it used to be wealthy, but not so much anymore. We found a thermal lagoon outside of town that was cool and visited the former mint and current mines, which were interesting, but a bit sketchy and hard on the lungs. Also, they had a huge city-wide waterfight while we were there - awesome!

Grabbed a bus down to Tupiza and booked a 4 day tour of the salt flats and southern Bolivia. Lots and lots of driving, but some really cool scenery and lots of flamingoes. I´ll put some pictures up later.

As for now, heading off to Argentina this afternoon, should be cool, I can´t wait to have real steak again!

There's something you need to know about Argentina: The truth is, you'll never leave it.
