The Face of Bolivia

Faces and tradition.

What will happen when country’s like Bolivia stop wearing their traditional dress, stop weaving their amazing cloth and give in to the mono-culture and dress of the first world?

The style will disappear and the colors will fade away. The beauty of what makes us all unique will become the same tapestry.

Why would you want to travel to exotic far off places? Not only just to see sites, another monument, a Church, a waterfall.

Where will the dance and music go? What about the yummy foods, flavors and tradition in the preparation? Who will pass on the stories? What about the great Shamans?

Who will pass these along when our young people aren't interested in the labor of it all? It is all such meaningful hard work if you believe in your true heritage.

On this trip it is the places that honor their culture and traditions that will stick with me the most and the lovely faces of the people.
