Margaret, Danny and I toured La Paz city (2-hour tour) and an area south of La Paz called the Valley of the Moon (1 hour) via the double decker Red Bus Tour. [Ernie missed out on this trip as he had traveled to Panama to attend the Harvard Summit of the Americas.] The weather was absolutely spectacular this morning. Perhaps the rainy season is over? This morning we were the only 3 passengers on the bus other than the guide, her little baby, and the driver! After lunch more passengers joined as we headed for the Valley of the Moon.
