Beautiful Bolivia and Tiwanaku Ruins

Ok, first sending you some colorful pics from random places in bolivia, the typical llama walking down the street, lady street vedors and a sheep crossing.

Also, a couple of pictures from the remains of the Tiwanaku culture. Located in the Northern regions of Bolivia, close to lake Titicaca (go ahead and giggle) it is considered to be one of the most advanced cultures to ever have exisited, and also by far, the oldest. Older than the Incas and the Mayas, older than Mesopotamia, older than... well pretty much everything, really really ridiculously old people. Saw the remains of the temples, stone carved statues, irrigation systems, huge huge sprawl of remains, partly dismanteled by the Spanish conquerers who used the Tiwanaku metitculously cut bricks to build their church nearby, nice, very nice.
