La Paz - famous for it's well puplized hight - is in a valley in the middle of the Andes. Surrounded
by 6000ers you can be sure that views from the bottom of the pan are overwhelming. The traffic and smog near you, the shanty towns on the hillsides and the proud snowy mountains on top. Paradoxly the inhabitants of the slums have a much nicer view than the wealthy upper class. With the hotel Austria you can be sure, that you made a bad choice. But there was a bed and a reception. I walked through the buzzling streets and tried to make sence of it. A four dish lunch is 1.70$. After checking out some local soccer tournament I went to the cinema to watch "angels and demons" with Tom Hanks - good stuff. The "Mongos" was not as special as my 
brother suggested (I was porb a bit early - 9PM). Next day I hung out with Stefan from Augsburg. We went to the market, bought a digicamera for him and went to the cinema. This time Star Trek - even if your not a treky that regularly goes to conventions with a fancy helmet, you just have to love that movie. In the evening we got major league drunk with a dutchman in an irish pub and then in a "Loki" branch. I still shiver at the thought of that evening. Brrrrrrr....
