Bolivia III- Otherworldly

At 5:45am, as the sun is rising, it was surreal to walk on the surface of the volcano in the Salar de Uyuni.  The morning was cold, the steam and molten mud were hot, and it was sooo cool to walk around a place that would be a great background for a scifi movie.

Bolivia II- Music!

On a Thursday morning, we came across battle of the bands in a church plaza.  First was the classical guitars, followed by the string orchestra (pictured right).

And then came the Murga band, all brass and drum core.  These kids were definitely having the most fun of the performers  (poor nerdy orchestra kids all wished they were in the drum core).

And finally, a wider shot of the murga band, who brought stilts walkers, flag girls, and a lot of enthusiastic noise.

I have no words, only questions.
Why is your head the same size as your ball?
Why do you have feet but no hands?
Why did your mother dress you in bell bottoms?

"Caution:  after a few drinks, trees may make awkward passes" (ala yawn turns into an arm around your waist).

"My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon"

"Caution:  Evel Knieval crossing."
