pictures from La Paz

La Paz is such a cool place, we thought we´d upload some pictures of some of the places we´ve been exploring over the past few days...

At the coca museum in La Paz...we learned all about the coca plant (that is used here for altitude sickness and for improved strength) we also learned about the bad side of the coca plant, cocaine, and what the bolivian people are doing to combat the drug trade.
