La Paz, Bolivia- I sat at the birthplace of the Inca sun god. Feeling his warmth, taking refuge from the wind behind a large stone and listened to the waves crash against the walls of rock below. This is the first island I’ve been on where life truly harkens back to another era. For most, [...]

Copacabana, Lake Titicaca, Bolivia Cold. It’s really cold here. Not arctic cold, or February in Cleveland cold, but a high-altitude chill that permeates everything. These buildings and their lack of any type of heat doesn’t help either. I refuse to get out of bed before 11:00 am in order to give the sun time to [...]

La Paz, Bolivia – I can’t lie. I was beginning to feel a bit lonely in Coroico it was time for La Paz. I had my bag packed and was ready to go but some angry, protesting Bolivians had other ideas. Frustrated with unemployment and the inability of the government to do anything effectively they [...]

Coroico, Bolivia – So I stayed in Sucre a few days longer than expected. I had originally planned to leave on Wednesday but when the time came to buy my bus ticket out of town there were too many people wanting to have one last dinner, go out for one last night or just simply [...]

Sucre, Bolivia – For the last month and a half I’ve had ‘Tarabuco Market’ on my list of things to do while in Sucre. It’s not in Sucre but the 65 kilometer drive makes it an easy trip that’s possible each Sunday. Any of the dozens of tourist agencies in downtown Sucre will sell you [...]

If it’s important enough someone will tell me about it. For example, I first heard of the earthquakes in Japan while hitching in Chile from [...]

Sucre, Bolivia- There hasn’t been a spot that I’ve traveled to that I haven’t wanted to leave until now. After one month of Sucre I’m still not ready to leave so I’ve decided to stay throughout June. I get booted out of Bolivia on August 2nd so I’ll hit the road again in July to [...]

Sucre, Bolivia – I’ve been in Sucre for two and a half weeks now and for most of that time I’ve neglected updating this blog on any type of regular basis. The main reason is because I wasn’t sure what to write about and I’ve enjoyed taking a break from all things travel related. But, [...]

Sucre, Bolivia- Since I arrived in Sucre the sound of marching bands has filled the city. Everyday it’s been drums, trumpets and a host of other brass instruments filling the air as each school prepares for Bolivia’s Independence Day – 25th of May. While the capital of Bolivia has moved to La Paz, Sucre still [...]
