looking across the valley, all the streets just go up and up...
looking down the valley towards downtown, Illimani towers over the highest skyscrapers in the world.

La Paz, Bolivia
I thought I´d share a few photos I´ve taken in La Paz. At more than 11800 ft, it is the highest capital in the world. The city itself rests inside a valley that opens up to the looming 21125 feet Mt. Illimani. I´ve been more or less just taking things easy here for the past few days, and will continue to do so--climbing Huayna Potosi wiped out my energy and I am now just feeling normal again. I have visited several interesting museums and had a good time just meeting people. Yesterday I went to the ancient ruins of Tiwanaku, and will put a post up here about that soon. Until then, here are some pictures of the city.

Hi honey,
Glad you are taking some time to let your body rebound from such a strenuous event as the mountain climbing. I know you only have a few more days there and then on Tuesday you are back in El Paso. What a wonderful adventure you have undertaken this summer. We are all so anxious to see the photos and hear your stories.
Return safely to us -
We love you,
Mom and Dad
