GRINGO LANDIA

A Bolivian plays Bolivian music. Too loud?
No-one listens. A hassled English couple - too close? -
Bicker. Then flee. Three American girls cry an
Endless litany of their next stop details. One
Says she took an overnight train in China, and
Next day slept in til three. Two Aussies and a Brit
Pick Potosi to pieces. The Bolivian
Switches to Simon and Garfunkel. A Spanish
Couple eat discretely, saying little. I am
Drinking chicha for the first time in my life.
