Yesterday was 'Dia del Mar' - Day of the Sea. There was a huge procession in which the entire government, some of the military, some of the police and most of the schools in La Paz marched. At the very front was the president, Evo Morales. There were brass bands, and flag-girls and baton twirling and even a pan-pipe band! It was quite fun to watch, although it went on for at least two hours there were that many people marching.

Unfortunately, last night I started getting ill and I have been pretty ill all today too. I think it is the change in food and such, and I can honestly say I have never had such bad stomach pain in my life!

I am also missing everybody quite a lot now. I was going to go out to find some friends and some english people to talk to, but i daren´t leave the hotel and the toilet! So that will have to wait for another night. Hopefully I will be a lot better tomorrow!

Despite some local difficulties at our end logging on, this blog is great. Sorry to hear you are not so well, it's probably just the whole week catching up with you. Hopefully, with some rest you'll be feeling better soon. Everyone here sends their love. P xxxxx

No breathing difficulties nor altitude sickness. . . well that's pretty good going. Do you realise when you return to the UK you’ll be able to run a marathon in under 2 hours with so much O2 accumulated in your red cells. You may even be able to take up a job as a “She” Sherpa. Thant one for the books.
Take care
