Master Batting On Csm

What happened, happened much

After the last post with a pitiful little attempt to seal the title, I let the time.

I'm slowly-it is chronic back to La Paz To be precise I am now on ZIS-trip (the LINK). A fine thing, would say some people.

I go to the Yungas, in order to meet the Afrobolivianer. The Afrobolivianer go back to the slaves, who were by the Spaniards after Potosí, where they should remove silver. Since the Africans were unable to cope with the altitude but not at all and the Spaniards realized that It probably would be better simply to clamp the indigenous people, as so eh already lived in the amount you needed alternative employment for the slaves. The Indians realized the Spaniards were now working much better if they could chew coca buckets (what alliteration, great ...). Therefore, the Spaniards brought their slaves in the jungle, where, who would have thought it had to grow coca. There they remained until today, even if it is a natural emigration to the cities.

Well, tomorrow we start, I'll go to Coroico, stay there one night and then heading Chijchipa, which is an Autonomous Community of the Afros. Many Bolivians call the Afrobolivianer way "Negritos" meaning "Negerchen" means, well, they are the Bolivians.

I am also launched simultaneously with the best of luck in the journey, I sat down but happily the day before yesterday in the Flota from Sucre to La Paz, the clock stops at some point to 3 at night and no further moves. It is pretty cold in the bus and the windows are formed frost flowers. Very romantic. The next morning, provides as follows:

that a "Bloqueo" or just good German is: a blockade. Such a blockade

do quite like the Bolivians, if they are dissatisfied with something. Dissatisfied are here:

And such a blockade is also done not difficult, I would now like to show even a barricade that is somehow defended heroically, but we see a blockade from here. One must also do not exert too much and in the end it the few blocks to make it.

Well, the truck drivers know that they do not always come over and use the time in order to warm up. As it ignites very quickly to a tire and have to be cuddly and cozy.

I do meanwhile on the way and walk off the line towards La Paz, most are in fact available behind a blockade of any taxis that take it to the nearest city, and from there it goes somehow to La Paz This is what the snake out of the way from behind.

One can also admire the transport modes of Bolivia.

Well, at the end of the trucks, unfortunately there were no taxis, and what the hell, it will run just with his belongings on through the Altiplano. About two hours I was out with a few fellow travelers. Then we were finally taken away by a taxi. This is a picture on the roadside, Indigenafrau gave us the way on the right side kindly made a nice crust of bread.

The motives:
The issue of the campesinos, who had closed down the road, was primarily the lack of money that had been promised them. It's pretty limited to the Municipio, which is about our county. Also lacked electricity in the village, which is also a problem municipiointernes. But at least the farmers now have the attention and she ultimately have blocked the road connecting Potosi and Oruro, which they pretty much anything that will from the central southern Bolivia to La Paz, cut off have. The man sitting next to me, comes from Tarija, which is in the South. At least three major cities of Bolivia, Sucre, Tarija and Potosí had therefore no connection to La Paz

After 22 hours I then arrived in La Paz. Only with the taxi to the nearest major city, which from Oruro to La Paz, Oruro and Wonderful, I am here and am happy.

morning it gets if all goes well, as it is written to Coroico, and then for at least two weeks in the jungle. So since then I have a plausible explanation of why nothing in the blog is.

I wish all readers a great start in June.

Also note the second Maipost, tjaja. I've even sat down ...

The last consolation to post pictures

Sun, and sorry to announce this long-term post-free. The program was to blame. I wanted to do a picture post to be exactly the post office, see here, but the program did not my pictures, the text was written, was already on edge for a while but what the hell, here's the post, with pictures.

little after a long time with steady employment, ie, new, I can now at least a picture post that is largely of La Paz, online. I was in fact at the weekend there. Before that, however, a witness
the fact that we here in Bolivia, the German-speaking country, although by a southern neighbor, can not alone. Austria's cultural dominance is incredible, because of this one coming every evening two episodes on TV from 18:00 to 20:00:

La Paz offers simply a marvelous view and is probably the city's largest urban height difference has, from the very top (here you can see a bit of top up, not quite in top) to the very bottom there are about 1000 Hm

Here we see also (down a bit larger) one corner of El Alto. This spire is to one of at least 50 churches, which was under a Bavarian priest named Obermaier (Here's a link to an article from the TIME), I talk with him briefly, just before Christmas last year.

By the way, the Prado, the main street of La Paz We also see the principal means of transport by Truffis. These are mini-buses, of which one is practically all the time shouted. The purpose is to inform the inexperienced passers the target and the stations of the ride.

Because these Truffis stop almost anywhere where there do the ride, there is the zebra. Why it must necessarily be zebras, where it Germany maybe a few policemen and a few parking tickets would have done, I do not know. In any case, it should have zebras in La Paz, regulate traffic, and all make just a little humorous, here it definitely works. Since Germany could take quiet you an example. Where it for example in the Mühlstraße only because of the emissions policy or as always is, would be such a job only with a gas mask. The resulting Zebra would be humorous as well as his own personal touch.

Oh, and the main culprit, which one makes a passer for the gigantic exhaust pollution in the streets of La Paz are the way to here:

The safe here also play a role, but they are pretty small and not least ...

La Paz, but all in all a very practical city. There are many street stalls where you can equip up quickly with the essential. For example, the survival kit of the Bolivian businessman.

calculator, pen, and the obligatory compass. Well. I also like to know what the compass is used.
Still a very practical part of this street stands. There is now not only the pocket calendar for 2008 but for 2006. Because the profit indeed play a little, if have always unsuccessful richer tradition, I now ask me, when I bought this calendar now, what year (of course, the next possible) I could use it again?

Finally, there's an uplifting picture of-you see, not his face but he is-Simón Bolívar
