Friday, July 2nd
After a long and restless night aboard a 12 hour bus ride we (Sophia, Ville, Willem, Jos, and myself) arrived in the beautiful city of sucre. The city is stunning filled with whitewashed buildings. You can see the Spanish colonial influence in many of the churches, universities, and governmental buildings. Although La Paz is the de facto capital of Bolivia, Sucre remains the constitutional/judicial capital. Walking around the city, you can tell the locals are proud and care for their city. Sucre is very clean and well maintained. All the buildings looked like they just got a fresh coat of white paint. Sucre sits in a valley surrounded by 360 degrees of mountains.
We checked into our hostel and grabbed a bite to eat while we watched the Holand-Brazil world cup game. We decided to seek out a Dutch cafe to wath the game. My two Dutch friends, Willem and Jos, we dressed in head to toe Holand colors to root for their home team. If you watched the game you'll know that Holand won 2-1. The bar was filled with only Dutch fans and they went bonkers over the victory, dancing and singing.
After the game, Willem and Jos stayed to continue celebrating while Sophia, Ville and I walked all around th city taking in all the sites. We hiked up to a mirador and ate at a cafe that overlooked the whole city. It was absolutely beautiful. We met up with the Dutch boys a few hours later and they were wasted...so we called it an early night.
