In La Paz!!!
I did about half my Christmas shopping today and got some new clothes for school - I am in love with the tourist area of La Paz. It's in the middle of four or five different markets and has a mix of local services and tourist hangouts, so it's interesting but not over the top.
Plus, I spent $75 on four pairs of earrings, a silver necklace, six pairs of socks, five scarves, two pairs of mittens, two jerseys, a pair of jeans, and two hats. I don't even try to haggle here.
My hostel has plates of coca leaves hanging around for consumption and I found an organic espresso place in about five minutes. I don't understand why most people don't like this city... I could live here.
