I'm headed home. In 3 days and 5 flights, I'll be back to so-called "real life." The Bolivian guard that was responsible for my drug search at the La Paz airport was really interested in how much I liked his country. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get as much as a "welcome home" from my own border guards.
I can't sum it all up, but here are some quotes and pics that capture people and moments that made up the last few months of my life...
"
Nada es puntual in Bolivia, pero todo es posible." -Diego

What you get when you order coffee in Bolivia... Kbay, here I come!
"You are the least flexible person in South America." -Chris (to salesguy when negotiating unsuccessfully for a different price)
|
"Everything will be possible in 10 minutes." -Cameron
 |
Salaar de Uyuni
"You can't have too many men in your basket." -Raphy |
 |
| So, the Incas were so advanced that they could market urine? |
 |
| "I am no longer confident in farting." -Josh |
 |
| I'm headed for a land where toilets take on more responsibilities |
"Remember: the birds, the butterflies, and the views all want you to die." -Leith
I've thought this through, and this country has made me a better person. I'm not sure how, but I can feel it... and it's not just indigestion or altitude sickness, because this country has taught me to recognize those things as well.
