South America - La Paz

 

The team relaxing in the hotel lobby sampling the coffee.
 














Next stop,  La Paz, Bolivia. Snuggled high in the Andes Mountains, this city is located at an elevation of 3,660 meters above sea level, making it the world's highest capital city in the world. Our stop here provided us with only an afternoon and night to explore this very unique place. Originally our itinerary was set to stay a full day here but God knew that our team was going to have difficulties handling the altitude even for the few hours we were there.

Walking the streets, going through the markets and then back to our hotel for a great dinner was all we had time for on this stop. The locals were not particularly fond of having their pictures taken unfortunately as all the aspects of this different culture sure was something to see.
