On my first full day in Sucre, I just walked around the center of town, enjoying picturesque views at every turn. Passing through the main square, the Plaza de Mayo, I chanced upon a group of musicians playing traditional Bolivian pan pipes backed up with a guy playing a bass drum. Several onlookers were moved enough to start dancing and frolicking in a circle around them. How fun! This was all part of a little fair set up for rural Bolivians to sell their traditional weavings, clothing, souvenirs, etc. A few minutes later, a really long parade of school kids in uniforms passed by, complete with a marching band. Later, I joined a guy named Hoessein from Rotterdam, Holland up on the rooftop of the Templo de San Felipe Neri, where we watched an awesome sunset light up the gorgeous white paint of the church, as well as the Iglesia de Merced across the street.

I just took it easy on this, my second rest day in Uyuni. I spent most of the day Photoshopping my photos and working on my blogs. After the four tours in San Pedro de Atacama and the three-day Salar de Uyuni tour, I got almost a week behind! Due to all of the tours, the high altitude and a cold I’ve had since my last day in Santiago, I’ve been feeling really fatigued. On top of all of that, when I woke up yesterday, I discovered that I had locked my keys inside my locker at Piedra Blanca Backpackers Hostel. The front desk clerk tried to cut it off with a hacksaw, but it didn’t even put a scratch on the lock.
