Sucre


Sucre has a small, but very interesting dinosaur park with a huge display of tracks.


This was actually somebody's house - practically a palace!





Before La Paz, Sucre was the capital of Bolivia. Very clean, very nice city.




Some lunch time entertainment. He walked for 4 hours to reach the village for the Sunday market.


A nearby village, well know for their fabrics and market . Heather's mom, Nora, was overwhelmed by the poverty in the village, which is quite stark.


Kind of cloudy our first day, but it cleared up after.

Sucre is smaller and quieter than La Paz and well worth the stop. They have a city bylaw that all (except one old original church) historic colonial buildings must be white washed. A great city to wonder around and relax.
