La Paz Lady...

Landing in La Paz on our tiny plane fresh out of the jungle is a trippy experience. We flew from jungle through mountain passes, where the mountains looked close enough to touch into El Alto airport. The airport is at 4000m in the town of El Alto that is perched above La Paz. The minute you step off the plane you can tell you are at 4000m simply because the backpack feels so heavy, and walking up stairs is much harder than it needs to be. Fortunately we have spent most of the last month above 2800m (much of it closer to 3800m) - so adjusting didn't take long.
The Ladies in Bolivia all wear hats, and some really great hats. But it was in La Paz that I fell in love with their Bowler hats. They balance them effortlessly on their heads. I tried and failed to pull off the look, so we left the Bowler hat in La Paz where it belongs.
