Dec 14
Well I thought tis was goin to be my last day in La Paz because my new checkcard and visa card are planned to arrived on Wed, Dec 14. Very excited to move on, especially since the Bolivian presidential election is on Sunday and there is apossiblitity of civil unrest. What ever that means. So, today I saw my tailor, and bought some other things because it´s just so F-ing. As everyday, since I have no money, I walk the streets and meet the locals. I made quite a few friends, and yes it helps when you have been interviewed on TV twice and been in the La Paz paper. According to the paper the interviewed me, but I don´t remember being interviewed. Weird! I decided to take a last tour of the city for 6 us dollars and it was well worth it. It was the only tour I could afford. On the tour I met this Finland guy named Tommy, he looks like a viking. Viking Blood, he says. His favorite phrases are, "go with the flow," and "click click." Click Click is my favorite which means you hit it off with a girl. The phrases resonate through out our friendship.

The second half of the city tour was in the morning. So Tommy and I rode through La Paz once again on a double decker bus. Good tour. They showed use the rich part of town. Pretty nice. The lower the elevation of the neighborhood the more expensive it is. So if you are poor you freeze your nuts off and if your rich its warm all year around. Really an amazing society. After the tour Tommy anbd I planned to meet up in the evening for dinner. Since I could not leave town until the day after my cards arrived. I have to pay a lot of debts. Well guess what my cards did not arrive, and I called the bank, visa and dhl and they told me they were stuck in customs. It took me three hours to find that out. Oh well one more day right. So Tommy and I go to the local football game, fun times, hung out with some very young girls. The only local girls you see are 15-19 after that they marry and stay at home to tend the family. The game is fun after words Tommy and I look for a local bar. An we find one, a very local bar. Of course they recognize me and its free everything. Great times, great culture. We think one guy was hitting on Tommy, and the scary thing is that we think that local bar, could have been the local gay bar. WOW! Tommy insisted we needed to see some girls to get his mind straight after the posible gay incident. He claims that one guy said he had a pretty faced and invited him back home with him. So we found girls and we got our minds right.
