La Paz since leaving every place we've visited have been celebrating. Celebrating drinking handkerchief water to everyone for the first time were people of Cochabamba. There were big stage in the square, with a band of musicians handkerchief playing guitars big and small, handkerchief pipes and drums - and a woman sitting next to them in the crowd throwing lettuce out! I did not think could not help come from local politicians who arranged the whole joy to themselves - but the cries of "Tenemos agua! Cochabamba Viva! Viva Bolivia!" full of passion anyway. Looking down on the celebrations to all Jesus was the world's largest. After seeing Buddhas world's largest, sitting handkerchief or lying in southeast handkerchief Asia and Japan, it was only fair that we get to see the world's largest Jesus. And it was also great. Hywel went in to the middle of it and take pictures out of his armpit ... In Sucre, celebrating 200 years of freedom from Spain they were. Or they .... every night for a month! The main square there is not just one full celebration - but many; platform in one corner of musicians, film history of the capital in the other corner, a brass band in the middle, and a parade of young boys in white suits, red and gold as soldiers stepped through the whole ... And some cracker wildfire smoke spread between the walls whitewashed buildings handkerchief beautiful. And now, we're in Potosi - the world's highest city - where more marches; protests in the day and evening bicentenary celebrations also. This place is being described as one of the saddest places in Bolivia. No wonder to think that hundreds of thousands of people have been killed handkerchief here in Quechua'r area mined for money for the Spaniards - a mountain handkerchief of pink, triangular, Cerro Rico. It is possible to go on trips to mine even now - to see the pathetic conditions of workers are still there. But the city center here in surprisingly beautiful - large carved churches, narrow streets, wooden balconies and winding handkerchief ... We've met on a visit to the ancient mint was created of all money money ... ... And murmur through the streets like an old woman because of a heavy cold and lack of oxygen, I have been amazed at all the hats - those men and women. Not only bowler hats, flat hats but, straw hats, woolly hats, soft hats, high hats and even as the Welsh costume!
