After the lonesome southwestern desert wanderings, I made my way up to Sucre, then Cochabamba and La Paz on more established routes. Lots of time with friends and family.
 |
| the Sucre market has a great Jell-O selection, complete with hand-whipped cream |
 |
| the cobbled highways stretch on for hundreds of kilometers. |
 |
| good kiwis around here |
 |
| dinosaur footprints at Toro Toro National Park |
 |
| i love trash can. |
 |
| we had to escape from the T-Rex in the main plaza |
 |
| rummaging for scrap supplies with carl |
 |
| willy's |
 |
| me and Susi at Toro Toro |
 |
| i spent a few weeks building some sheet metal tools for an NGO that makes efficient woodstoves in Cochabam |
 |
| Freddy loves his new brake! |
 |
| safety glasses are a good idea when strapping down a grinder |
 |
| Suzi's all torn up for a shock repair and carb rebuild |
 |
| hi tech stove fab at Biosol in Cochabamba |
 |
| a look at the new sheet metal brake carl and i built for them |
 |
| and then it was snowing? |
 |
| simple sheet metal hole punch i made with a die block and an old motor valve |
 |
| so i NEEDED some traditional parade attire... |
 |
| i've been thinking of blinging out the moto in similar fashion |
 |
| watching the school of mines students in the parade. they had a cool rhythm going with the hammers and chisels |
 |
| ahhhh, backpacker hostels... |
 |
| La Paz sprawl |
 |
| valle de la luna |
 |
| great place to get water out of the carb |
 |
| lake titicaca |
 |
| ole burnt a valve so i finally caught his speedy 70cc butt just outside cusco |
 |
| dynamite? 50 cents a stick in Bolivia. So naturally we are gonna set off 8 sticks. in traditional festive attire... |
 |
| boys and explosions.... |
 |
| cusco at night |
 |
| Susi goes for a spin in her new duds |
 |
| ok, EVERYONE needs traditonal attire and we are going clubbing |
 |
| Vinnie was a huge hit with the ladies |
 |
| Seeing this NEVER stops being funny. photo: Ole |
 |
| loaded up, as usual |
 |
| Estrellita. the motorbiker and cyclist´s choice... |
 |
| just what I need, a Chinese motorcycle that runs on emotions! How many smiles per hour? |
 |
| i wonder if the aggressive FU-250 would sell in the US? |
 |
| oh yeah, Vinnie was into the dynamite as well |
 |
| Ole is thinking about an upgrade... |
