Cofradia, then Mongo's

05.19.2004

John, a Fulbrighter from Colombia we met in Lima, swung through La Paz at the end of his whirlwind backpacking tour of the country (which included a bloqueo near Oruro). So after my tango practice (I'm getting better), I met up w/ him & Jay in Sopocachi.

Decided to head up to a little secret watering whole I'm privy to (the Cofradia), where Mike asked about Sam, then brought us Jack & Coke. A discussion about Tolkien later, we decided to head out for a wild night. Or as wild as La Paz can get on a Tuesday.

Since Occipucio was closed, we head down to Mongo's, the city's favorite bar for locals hoping to pick up ex-pats (or vice versa). Ordered Huari (beer), drooled over the dancing waitress, and (despite much Swingers bravura) never go the nerve to hit on anyone.

Do you know if it's possible to get Huari in the states (I liked it bettern than Paceña). I think the closest beer I've found to it is Sapporo.

You might be able to get Huari (which I also think is better than Paceña) in the Washington DC area, where there's a huge colony of Bolivians. Also, in some places (even in Kalamazoo, Michigan, believe it or not) you can sometimes get Taquiña. Which is quite good, and perhaps even better than Huari (certainly better than Paceña). Taquiña's from Cochabamba.
