Today was AWESOME!! We spent the day With B-Side Adventures, a mountain bike tour company here in La Paz. They took us up to Chacaltaya for a day of downhill mountain biking. A road goes pretty much to the top of Chacaltaya, the only ski hill in Bolivia. We started at 5300 meters… the first 6km was kick-ass STEEP, scary choss – Todd and Cheryle both experienced mild wipeouts and Brad left them in his dust. The next 45km were on narrow, winding roads with severe drop offs down the sides (we’ve come to the conclusion that most roads in Bolivia could be called ‘Death Roads’), and we descended 3500 meters (11,500 feet) to the edge of the Amazon jungle. At the end of it all, the B-Side boys even had beers for us!! It was stellar.
The only possible thing that could make this day better was the arrival of our beloved bags!!! When we got back to town, Cheryle and Brad made a mad dash to the American Airlines office where we finally retrieved our lost luggage. Yippee!! Life is extra good!
