Hello everyone! I am back today with a very cool blog post collection of my second time in La Paz! So after my long and tiring journey in the Salt Flats and the Amazon, I finally got to stay in the luxury of society and waited to go to my family in Israel. So now, let’s get into the blog post! First of all, after getting dressed and getting packed up, we drove out of our hotel in the Amazon all the way to the airport, which was very small and very tropical. After waiting for about 40 minutes, we got on the airplane and then I waved one last goodbye to the Amazon Jungle and our hardships of poor living conditions and limited food. After we arrived in La Paz for the second time, we drove to our new apartment and to our great dislike, it wasn’t ready yet. Thus, we had to wait a long time until my new Spanish tutor, Diana, came to give me my lesson. She is a fun teacher and during our walk, we saw a lot of cool sites and graffiti. We later had an awesome homemade dinner in our house and celebrated our first day.
On my second day, I met Dianna at 10:00 am and then we got on a public bus and left to explore the city! It was a very interesting experience because we got to see how normal people move around and after seeing the town, I went back home to do my lousy homework. It was a cool day overall and during my time with Dianna, we also saw a lot of homeless people minding their own business and we saw how peaceful Bolivia was.
Our third day was quite different from everything else because unlike the other days, we actually got in a car(Dianna joined us) and drove to what is called the Death Road. On Death Road, we made a ritual prayer to keep us safe and then we drove down the bumpy and unstable road. Our guide explained that people used this road for centuries and that it was their only way of transportation, which was a bummer for them because it is so dangerous. We even got to see a zip line that we rode on to the other side! We then ate a delicious meat lunch and after more hours of driving, we arrived back in La Paz and our fun day in Death Road was over. My fourth day with Dianna was fun because we got to her house and I got to meet her family. She has a very cute dog named Loki, which I thought was adorable! We got to play fun games like Battleship(which I won) and then we reviewed my vocabulary a bit more. A few hours later, we drove to dinner where we had an amazing meal and I was so excited for my last day in La Paz. At dinner, we saw a cultural song and dance performed and it was very interesting to see people’s culture.
On our last day, I watched Avengers Infinity War in Spanish(which was awesome!) and a few hours later we went to a traditional Passover satyr! It was kind of boring, but it was a fun cultural experience nonetheless and then I was so excited for our Brasilia trip.
