big city

Here are a few pictures from around the city. There is a lot of public transportation in La Paz and everyone uses it. Most of the cars in that traffic jam are public transport. There are taxis, trufis (that is like a taxi but goes on a circuit like a bus), minibuses (that is like a minivan, and it has someone yelling out the window all the spots it goes to), and big buses. There is a ton of traffic in the city and vendors on the street and people walking in the street which makes it difficult to drive. I've never seen so many people walking around as I do here.
That is Isabela on a big roll of cotton. The hotels are located near the street that sells material in huge bolts. There are guys that carry these huge bolts of material on their back with ropes.
The last picture is from the top of one of the hotels. There are houses built all the way up the mountains! La Paz is a city surrounded by mountains...it has amazing views, and huge cliffs!
