Potosi is the highest city in the world, and was quite beautiful! The area was one the richest in all of the new world, and it shows. While the mines have mostly dried up and the city is no where near its prime, there are still signs of its former wealth.
I spent the day walking around with a group of Germans I met in Sucre, which were nice enough. They were nice enough, but kind of clicky and I was looking for how to get out of there. We just walked around, saw an old church (which is on their 50 bill), and went to the colonial mint museum.
Nice day, not great. Today I am in Uyuni booking a tour to see the salt flats, which are supposed to be incredible. Uyuni is a waste of a city, but the gateway to the salt flats, so here I am.
