Bolivia-6 Potosi -1

2008.12.19


Potosi, a mining city, at one time the richest city in the world due to the silver mining industry, wonderful churches and buildings everywhere, but a sad city due to its histroy and life expectancy of the people who worked and still work in the awful conditions in the mining industry









cakes ready for the celebrations to come, when we arrived it was the beginning of the celebrations for the anniversary of Potosi




The mountain Cerro Rico looms large over the city with its hope and grief oozing out of the slopes.........








The local market, you think of it and buy it here
