La Paz (means strikes and visa trouble) Cochabamba (has art) Sucre (is nice) Potosi (is cold and high)

I caught a micro (private mini vans that serve as buses ) down to the swanky end of town where lots of the apartment buildings and embassies are. Unfortuantly it was not open, but at least I had discovered where it was so I could venture out bright and early the next morning and stun the Brazilians into giving me an extra speedy Visa with my earliness.
