I don't know, but the airports in Bolivia beat all inefficiency records that I've seen so far. All you can do is laugh - and arrive 5 hours early.

WHO IS THAT ADORABLE DOGGIE? (and yes)

Going through the maddening yet exciting process of booking travel to S. America. ;)

This hoodie thing is apparently where it's at.

I was once a eucalyptus tree. REALLY bad idea. Like really.
