Views by Tender & Bike

The more time I spend in La Paz the more I like it…we take the tender to dinner one evening and the bikes to the Malecon one afternoon.

The Governor’s Mansion next to our dining spot

We arrive by tender for dinner at SeaSide Mediterranean restaurant

The fat pigeon (paloma gorda) statue on the Malecon is a favorite

Beach Volleyball tournament today

The podium and trophies for the winners of the beach volleyball tournament

The memorial to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillips visit to La Paz in 1983. Evidently, the pearl in her crown is from La Paz.

I was sad to see that the Hotel Los Arcos was closed. This is where I stayed my first visit to La Paz (1984), but when you don’t pay your workers they go on strike…for 11 years! Finally, the building is set to go up for auction (in the near future) to pay the 110 million pesos in lost wages.

A little snack & cerveza at Estrella del Mar (Star of the Sea) beach bar at the end of the Malecon

Later in the week we visit Banditos restaurant . It has a great BBQ…Larry liked his burger and my burrito was fantastic.
