sucre y tarabuco, bolivia

not much battery charge. shame shame. believeme when i say, i have tons of mental pictures of sucre. beautiful quiet and delicious sucre. the constitutional capital of bolivia. they are so proud, of their university, their beautiful city and the fact that they were the capital of bolivia (...and some people want it back). 

sucre is one of the biggest cities in bolivia, but didn´t feel like that. it has beautiful colonial buildings and plazas, and eventhough it is a big city, it felt really calm. walking to the plaza, getting some ice cream, sitting on a bench, on a sunday and talk with your friends, it felt perfect. no pictures, but it was perfect.

we took a microbus to the nearby town of tarabuco to see their sunday market. the views along the way are beautiful, especially on bolivia´s blue skies.

it was a cheap microbus, i was sitting right next to the driver, with someone else on my right, on a made-up seat... for 1 1/2 hrs. but the views, they were beautiful, and i tried to focus on them as i tried to explain to the driver and my new friend where the heck puerto rico is.

we, of course, went to the market, and shared a table with 4 other people that looked like they were +80yrs old. how, HOW, do they live so long. vegetables? the altitude?

sucre was the last city i visited in bolivia, and it was time for me and my friends to split. sad time to say goodbye, but awesome people to travel with. :) i admit it, there was a little tear on my face when i got in the bus, but shhh, don´t tell them! :)
