Back in the city
11.04.2003I'm back in La Paz. Catching up on email, and resting my body from a long bus ride through a less-than-modern highway system. But it was a good visit. Mostly just hung out w/ cousins I've not seen in years, and talking over mate or coffee w/ my abuelitos.
Not much to really write about. I did get to go to a soccer match w/ abuelito, which is always fun. Even if my beloved Oriente Petrolero lost 2-1 in a poorly refereed match against cross-town rival Blooming. But abuelito & I cheered our hearts out (even if he's from San Jose, not Oriente). The match ended w/ several yellow cards, two reds, and a post-game fight between teams.
There were also a few political discussions (of course). There's a dictum: Put two Centellas together in a room, and you've got three political parties.
After a brief visit, I got back on my bus to La Paz. I left in a warm tropical breeze, and arrived in the capital to an early morning chill. But I have to say that, all in all, I'd rather live in La Paz than in Santa Cruz. What can I say? I love sweater weather.
I also got back in time to pick up a package of comics (thanks Josh Upson!) from the post office. And to finally set a coffee date w/ the girl from the vegetarian restaurant.

Hm.. I was gonna invite you to Singapore, but you'd melt under the heat and humidity.
The good thing is all the buildings here are airconditioned. Even the buses. Especially the buses. (Did I mention there's a TV in the buses?)
But you like sweater weather, huh?
Oh well, too bad.
