Tim n Ana_Pictures 7 (Potosi/La Paz)


The oldest church in Potosi. It's currently being restored.


Overview of the city. Potosi, Bolivia.


The cute couple overseeing the city of Potosi. Hay que cute!



View of the mountain before Tim entered the mine. It has 600 different mine entries.
Potosi, Bolivia.


Here is Tim with El Tio - The Devil. The miners believe he owns the mountains so they have a huge respect for him and you can find figures everywhere in the mine. The miners rather call him el Tio than the devil. Pretty interesting.
Potosi, Bolivia.


This one of the miners Tim talked to during the tour inside the mine.
Potosi, Bolivia.


Tim holding three dynamites in Potosi. He was in HEAVEN! Crazy Tim.


View of a street in La Paz. On this street you found all the travel agencies. The streets are very narrow and steep. Fun to go up and down. You're out of breath every step pretty much.


At the corner of the Witches Market. You can see the dead llama fetuses everywhere. It's pretty interesting. It suppose to be for good luck!
La Paz, Bolivia.


Here we were in from of La Iglesia San Francisco. The lady you see in the picture is how the indegenous women dress. Pretty colorful!
La Paz, Bolivia.
