Day 24: Downtown Santa Cruz De La Sierra

So excited to be in Bolivia! We booked an economy class flight from Brazil and checked in at 10pm before our 6am flight. By checking in late, we got premium first class seats without paying for it, which included champaign and coffee!

Obtaining visas at the Bolivian border was a little hard because they didn’t understand how Kieran could be born in Canada, but have a US passport and how his name wasn’t on the hostel reservation.

We walked 2+ hours around downtown and had an amazing dinner at La Casa del Camba (which might be Mary’s favorite meal thus far). We hadn’t realized the restaurant included live music and a show.
