thought i'd throw you a few more seeing its a weekend...when i'm coming thru England, i have to stop by and meet some of you guys and share a few beers and stories...be there next summer

after staying up at 12,000 feet in a hostal and outside it dropped to -10 F at night it was time to increase elevation even more







as the altitude got higher the track got worse and worse

then all of a sudden blacktop, what a relief after the inconsistent sand/ gravel/ rock mix









then we dropped altitude and small villages started to appear as we headed towards La Paz
