Day 1 and Day 2! We have arrived. We came in a few days early to adjust to the altitude. La Paz is known as the city that touches the sky, is an apt description. Located high above sea level, La Paz sits in a bowl surrounded by the high altiplano. La Paz as it grows climbs the hills resulting in varying elevations from 3000 to 4100 m. Overlooking the city is towering triple-peaked Illimani, always snow covered and majestic. The famous road to get here is known as the El Camino del Muerte or The Road of Death! Yesterday we drove the road in a cab with our driver. Tomorrow, we set out on motorcycles to conquer the road on our own. I apologize if the blog posts are slow, the internet and download capabilities are slow, but I will do my best!
