Report from La Paz: Hemmed In by Roadblocks

We’re still in La Paz. Having a great time with my brother–despite the fact that the city is cut off from the rest of the country.

Protesters have roadblocked all highways leading in and out of La Paz, so our plans to travel down to the famed Uyuni salt flats, in the south of the country, are on hold.

This article says indigenous farmers and soliders have clashed outside the city, but things are generally undisturbed where we are. There are reports, however, that some La Paz markets and stores are closing in solidarity with the protesters, but the ones in my brother’s neighborhood, Cota Cota, are still open.
