Moon Valley
This little tour, at least a very interesting one for me, was going through the modern and wealthy part of La Paz, where among the more affluent, diplomats, business owners, government employees, and some of the politicians lived. |
This was definitely not the La Paz I had come to know. |
Leaving that part of the city, on the way to Moon Valley, a rather exclusive area, there were expensive apartments and custom homes along the way. |
On the way there, near a popular park, it was bumper to bumper traffic, being a weekend. |
An expensive resort hotel, definitely out of my price range |
Looking up and ahead it was easy to see where we were heading |
Moon Valley. We finally made it to our destination. There was a little snack shop and very clean toilets on the grounds. |
At the entrance to the Moon Valley Park, there was a small souvenir store and museum. No time to go in. All I did see was someone inside working on a drawing. Little did I realize that a famous artist, by the name of EUSEBIO CHOQUE, was on the other side of the glass window. One of the reasons I hate tours. They always have their own agenda and time pressures. I would have gone in and watched the man at work, as it was, I only saw his hands working on a drawing and a couple of posters that covered most of him. However, at least I had his name on the top poster and just looked him up, and he has a ton of lovely work available and the link is to his website. Interestingly, he is on Facebook as well. The image will link you to pictures of some of his work.. |
