La Paz again

22 Jan La Paz
So I am back in La Paz.
Yesterday was the inauguration of Bolivias new presedent Evo Morales.
The whole of the center of La Paz was closed to trafic.
There was a big party in the square close to where we are staying.
There were lots of bands and rousing political speaches.
The party went on all day and into the wee hours of the morning.
There is a real sence of hope here that the new presedent will be good for Bolivia which has a history plagued by political instability.
There have been more changes of government then years of a republic.
Evo is the first presedent who is indigenous and the majority of Bolivians are indigenous.
