La Paz

We stayed 2 nights in La Paz – got restocked at a really nice Walmart and had fun at Carnaval on Fat Tuesday. We expected a Mardi Gras type celebration but it was more family oriented like Fiesta in San Antonio.





The churches in La Paz are much simpler than the cathedrals in Europe but, one thing they have in common is that they are all under construction!


There is small café near the campground with great food. Roger had the “American Breakfast” – 2 eggs, hash browns, bacon, 2 pancakes and a salad(!?) for 70 pesos (drop the zero and divide by 2 = $3.50!) We had a beer and a margarita at Carnaval for 80 pesos! But, this is what we got when we ordered chips and salsa – potato chips with Tabasco drizzled on them! A little communication gap!



We were all dreading our drive north today because we had to go through the WORST construction zone ever – we all survived but, it is mucho nerve wracking! The signs say “precaucion” and “desviacion” – no joke! Pictures to follow!!
