Bolivia is a country I love and hate at the same time and for the same reasons. I love it because the people are really nice and the food tastes really good. I love it because nothing works properly and there is no desire for personal improvement (personal, economic or otherwise). And I hate it because people are so nice in such conditions!
This is a place of striking constrast: unforgiving poverty set amongst stark and naked natural beauty; the women are built short and round, as if in protest of the sharp Andean peaks in which they live; the environment is among the harshest I've been in yet the people are some of the nicest; the land rebels against the notion of agriculture yet the food is tasty.
Ahhhh, I love you and I hate you. And this is why I will return. SL
