Hello everyone! I hope you are all well after the Christmas fat .. ehee
Life here goes along with travel, we are still in Bolivia, specifically in Cochabamba,
we arrived here two days, after a week of hiking and we are indulging in a hostel with baño compartido, but television in the bedroom ..
From Potosi we left for a two-day in the Andes, killing a walk of 37 km in total, almost always in the rain or snow, bett'isfiga ... we're still cool, but it is still worth the pena.La guide was the same man who brought us to the mines, knows this area of \u200b\u200bthe Cordillera as well as the campesinos who live on the plateau.
We spent the night at the home of Doña Feliz, a Quechua ziedda of 90 years who does not speak a word of English and lives with a son in a house surrounded by mountains on three hours' walk from the first village. At age 90 is still fully self-sufficient, and the blade follows the sheep grazing and the hunting dog in the yard irroccandolo ... Quechua, bette laugh, like a Sardinian ziedda. Live without water or light and has a kitchen that feeds on a plant dry Altiplanico (Llaret) and dung of llamas and sheep dry.
During dinner, we tried to learn a bit 'in Quechua always with the help of the guide (Roberto, a former miner toothless and blunders, and with the mist of the mountains was lost for a little ..), the language is difficult, with a Lots of sounds unpronounceable, but in the end Something more than a thank you we were able to put it. A Doña Feliz we offered chocolate, a bit 'of cognac to warm and some cigarettes, she smoked a happy and accepted everything be' even if not inhaled.
the morning after waking up was still raining, Doña Feliz stood before the door blowing "pfa, pfa .." and spoke with the rain, we asked Robert what he was doing, she told us that he was blowing the rain asking her to let her son return to the country ...
short of beautiful scenes! Going to the country on the second day, we stopped at the home of another family of campesino Quechua, boiled beans that have both offered and accepted cigarettes here too, it seems that the Quechua like smoking .. and even be photographed.
In this house we also know that the son of Doña Feliz c'aveva bette still drunk from the day before and return home there was not even thinking ..
At the end of the excursion we have unfortunately lost the car fotografica, con tutte le foto delle case, di Doña Feliza e dell'altra famiglia... bett'isfiga!! le foto erano senz'altro le piu' belle fin'ora..
Un'altra escursione di tre giorni l'abbiamo fatta al Salar de Uyuni (un mare di sale di 12400 km2) e a varie lagune e deserti altiplanici, di questa abbiamo le foto che metteró al piu' presto, il computer di oggi non ha usb..
Alla prossima, un abbraccio a tutti dalla Bolivia (pare proprio che sia femminile...), circola una strana leggenda, dicono che sia un paese pericoloso... mavaffff... i boliviani sono un popolo di tranquilloni, grandi lavoratori ma in maniera rilassata, La Paz non mi é sembrata piú pericolosa di Parigi o Roma, dipende sempre da COME e where speed ...
Ciaoooooooooooooo
