La Paz













              

       



        



Got to La Paz a couple of days ago, after spending the first night drinking superbly priced beverages from a nearby hostel. Pound a pint happy hour and double gin for about 1.50, We were all soon nicely hammered and went home at a moderate time of around 11. Waking to realise we had missed breakfast we went for a stroll to find some form of brunch, this consisting for me personally a cheese burger meal from a fast food restaurant specialising in burgers, fried chicken and what looked like some kind of fried banana?? All in all, coke (glass bottle), fries (hand cooked vibe accompanied by a choice of mustard, ketchup or mayo. I opted for Mayo, mustard mix which was Gorgeous!) and cheeseburger  (with an extra bit of ham, as in pork ham. Not sure why but luckily I didn't really notice it) all for just a ball park figure of 1 pound. Have I woken up yet?? You couldn't even get a single small cheeseburger at McDonald's for that back home, at least not at the Newport coldra. Anyway the meal was delicious, a strong 7 out of 10, though price probably adding a certain bias to my judgment. I ate the meal in approximately 4 minutes and left the restaurant thanking the manager for the meal itself, clean toilets, selection of sauces and helpful English speaking staff.I then  attempted to ask him which way it was to the witches market in Spanish? To 'witch' he replied in English, two blocks turn left and carry on for around half a kilometer mate. I thanked him and said chow. Haz will now expand on the witches market. Oh no she won't, she wants me to do it. Well the witches market was alright, like a lot of things I've seen or done this week, I didnt really see the point in it. They had sex perfume which either makes you want sex, have sex, get better at sex or change sex??? I'm still not sure. Either way the branding was awful. 
Moving on, like an angels halo hovering above my head I discovered something which I think could be the thing I'm missing in my life and something which I think could become big back home in Wales. Above my head dangling from the ceiling were about 50 lama foetus's. All ranging from rabbit size to Labrador size. You burn them and the ashes are used to bring good luck, especially to new houses. I bought the biggest one for a bargain 25quid and we are going to have a ritual at haz's dads in New Zealand in 3 weeks.
