Sucre ...

Great Bolivia ! What I like here are the surprise. I never expected something about Bolivia, I don t know why? Its sure a pure country. Its sure a country with very bad food. But its sure a country with a lot of hiden Tresure. Sucre is one of them. I arrived here in the night and could catch allready a good mood in this city.
Sucre is an old colonial city. If you will put the church away the architecture look like in italy. Its a very nice play to stay. Not because there is a lot to do, but because you can just enjoy to stay in this place without doiing anything.
We went in the Bolivia Hotel, a nice place to stay in the center. From there at night we get something to eat and went in a bar with Milan (uk), Lorenzo (it), Steve (usa) and William (usa). William is travelling around and when he need money he works on a boat or give english lessons. This guy know english, frensh, spannish and chinese very well. Intelligent guy. Willaim is call Bill. Why? Because William shortcut is Will and by speaking the people in USA beginn to understand Bill. So shortcut of William Will became in USA Bill. Strange.
Well we get into this Bar Joyride and had some picadas with vino. Soon a kind of crazy Danish guy came (totalment buracho) at our table. I left the table for the bar and begunn to learn about the Bolivian music by speaking with a brazilian bartender. Cool. My spaniolo begunn to be brazilian again. Soon everybody came at the bar because this Danish guy begunn to touch my friends. Immagine a drunked 2 meter tall guy with one open eyes a big jaw with a lot of black carries as big as a coin, touching the hair of Steve with a hand that is that big as a Orang gouthan, during a speak about prostitution....So you can imagine that Steve left this table for the bar. After the Danish-burracho guy found another victime: Milan and Will.
Well next day we went to the city...and there we saw something terrible. Two guys selling kids. Can you imagine that. In the middle of the street this forbiden sell find a market and we will soon be the victim of it. First we took a photo of this to denounce it. CNN or le monde could by the image and we will became famous. Saving tousend of familly that are actualy broken because they miss they kids. But we had to save two of this kids. I had to think about all this kids all arround the world that are exploited to work as soon as they can. Think about if one of this will be used into the corrupted prostitution network. Lorenzo and I could support this and get back to this two guys. We had to do something. We paid a lot but at least it will be two kids less leaving on the street with these people. You have to know that when this babies are not on the street they are put into a box, without place to move.
So we paid. And took Kermit and Kermit Junior with us. We save they live and swear to give them everything we could. Everyday something to eat, an education, a secret account in Swizerland, a new familly and the most important a swimming pool.
Since this time Kermit and Kermit Junior travel with us. Sucre beautifull city goodbye and please stop this exploitation of kids.
Thx
Freddy
