Quick stop in La Paz

We finally made it to La Paz after an extremely bumpy bus ride that was 4 hours longer than expected as it had to bypass a huge blockade! We started our day off with a random buffet breakfast we found and were excited that there were options other than just bread and jam! After brekkie we headed to the Witches Markets on the side of one of many of La Paz's hills. We spent many many hours wandering the markets and checking out the products - most of which were llama/alpaca products - jumpers, socks, beanies, gloves, scarfs and...fetuses. Apparently the Bolivian's buy dead llama fetuses and place them under the front doorstep of a new home to bring good luck. Gross. Because we had such a great day at the markets we had to find a post office and do our first big mail home (to make way for more shopping!) Definitely recommend the Witches Markets to fellow travellers, there's ALOT to check out and it's all dirt cheap. Unfortunately after our big day of shopping it was straight back onto another bus and onto Peru!
