My guide Christian was excellent. Had patience with me because I had altitude sickness. He helped me get some medication in the pharmacy which worked. The food was excellent. Could not eat it all. Christian took me all around downtown La Paz and showed me all the main sights and explained their history. Thanks Christian.
