After a quick stop in Uyuni, I have gotten to Potosi. The bus trip was 7 hours over dirt roads, but it was actually a good trip. Especially when you consider that it cost 15 Bolivianos for the ticket. For those people that are not current on there Bolivian/Canadian currency conversions 1 Canadian Dollar equals 5.86 Bolivianos.
One of Potosi´s claims to fame is that it is on record as the worlds highest city at 4070m. The other important thing to note is the silver mine that the Spanish founded in the 15th century. The mining is still going, but does not appear to still be as profitable.
