We made it.

We are in La Paz. The bus was alright, the seats definitely a lot more comfortable than last time. They actually seemed newer and they reclined. The odd part about the trip was that we travelled three hours back to Potosi and then up to La Paz. It was weird but we looked and assume that the other route is probably safer.

It was hard to fall asleep on the bus. The seat didn't quite recline enough and the woman being me kept pushing her knees into my chair as if my seat was too far reclined. Except it hers was down all the way too. It was frustrating. Then when arriving about 45 minutes outside of La Paz, people were all quiet still, but her cell phone went off and the child behind Katie answered it really loudly. Katie had to shush her and then she was really loud still and then we both did it and she finally was quiet. Except that the phone rang about four more times... ugh.

But we made it to La Paz. And we are paying a bit more for our room-- 10 dollars a person, 20 a night for a private room. And its in a hotel because most hostels don't have hot water here. That's still 10 dollars less than what we were paying. It's nice to know that Hotels don't up the costs by a TON just because of the title "hotel".

Haven't seen much of La Paz, but so far it's fun.

That's about it.

Love
