I’d never intended to write another post on this subject, but after what happened on the day of my flight, I decided to add this update, which is a letter I sent to several people at Alaska over this so-called “direct” flight.

The Farmer’s Market is a new event that began in La Paz in January and was originally on Madero and Cinco de Mayo.

These colorful plastic birds are a popular children’s toy in La Paz. In this case, I found a vendor outside of Aramburo, a popular grocery store. As you can hear, the sound is quite charming and engaging.

Some video from Children’s Day. I thought it was an event for only a weekend, but it lasted much longer, going on for nearly two weeks and then some. If you have a child that loves rides, this is the place.

This hot, bubbling concoction is my favorite drink, known locally as: “Champurrado,” though on the mainland it’s also known as “Atole.” It’s made with the same corn mix as one would use for tortilla’s, though in this case it’s mixed with hot milk, cinnamon and sugar.

Capricho’s is one of my favorite restuarants in La Paz. It’s a classy Italian restaurant owned by Claude Vogel and his wife Celia. I met them both through my friend Dennis, who I met when I lived here last year.
