Witches' Market

Googling La Paz in Bolivia the top results will be altitude and witches' market. This happens to be a block away from our hotel.

This place has stores that sells powders, oils, candles, trinkets and ingredients for absolutely any ailments or fortune you want to have come to you. The dead llama fetuses are interesting because they represent the full circle of life birth and death in one. I'm told these are natural deaths of still bornes.

Alex made us get our fortune told. The Cholita used Coca leafs to tell us our future. Using only our name, where we are from she flipped some of the leafs over, had a bit of a mantra, and dropped some water or oil over it. Now Alex and I did this for a bit of fun, because we know fortunes are rubbish. But what she told us was way way too accurate that Alex and I looked at each other and said WTF to each other afterwards.もっと詳しく
