More of Bolivia

Ahhh, and yet we aren't done with Bolivia, just yet. Will and I ran out of money, well the acsess to it by way of having no banks or cash machines since Uyuni. Needing some to contiue our next leg into the Chilean Mountains for seven days, and... missing the last buss into Chile for the night, we decided to bus further into Bolivia, Four hours, (Ah...Bolivian roads...they are truely beyond words) to the city of Oruro. It is really big, the biggest we have seen yet in Bolivia. Something told us when we entered that we didn't need to come quiet this far for a bank. But here we are, with our pick of the crop are far as internet postoffice and banks...Yey civilaization! And yet all these modern convenaces we prefer the smaller towns to the cities. Its funny when we talked about getting here, "So what did we come here for..? Oh yeh...a bank." Thats funny. We left our bikes at the paduana( customes) and took a bus that cost next to nothing. Bolivias are unbelievable friendly and nice. They seem to have their feelings hurt when we talk about leaving the country and going into Chile. They say..." they don't have the salars, the cactuses, the charm." It is true I like Bolivians they are really sweet poeple. I thouroughly enjoyed playing soccer with they on the island of Incahuasi in the Salar de Uyuni. Although the girls humilated me at the sport. I should have seen it coming, but really, I have an excues, my lugs don't usualy burn at sea level the way they do at 3600 mts above. I think any person playing anything remotly physical at such a level should be considerd hard core for just the effort. And now we will enjoy this city of Oruro and then head for the boarder of Chile, to take advantage of the beautiful mountains, hotspiring and the end of our time here.
