Photos of crossing the Border and the altiplano, and tupiza


hitchhiking again


 the amazing landscapes continued, and silently we crossed the tropic of capricorn!

 oh speaking of geography, the moon is turned here alittle (the C has a different angle) but the face is supposed to be the same... And the stars are different, for example till nowi couldnt find the big bear!! the point of reference in europe is not present here :(
And i dont know if you have seen when bart simpson calls australia to ask for the direction of the flushin water - they say it is true, it is the other way round! I still need to check it.


  we got till humauca, middle of nowhere, form there we took a bus.
 
a dog was furious with a donkey
 

The border was a chaos

 

  
 
  i dont have a photo, but there was a poster with a drawing of evo and fidel, hugging each other with the writing of Viva la revolucion :)

Evo is everywhere, he won the elections again, and the big part of the people adore him. It is true that he realised many projects (of alfabetization and the coca production) but his proposal to redistribute the money of the rich regions (cochabamba, santa cruz) to the poor ones (really poor ones) generates a lot of tensions, and the richer parts obvioulsy feel like getting separated...

Evo must have paid thousands of painters to promote him. He was even in the middle of the desert sometimes..
