Mountain bike racing in Bolivia with the Israeli army... just a typical Wednesday for us now. Since the “World’s Most Dangerous Road” is located between La Paz and Coroico, we couldn’t help but join the adrenaline rush of racing down 39 miles of an 11,800 feet vertical decent (with 2,000 foot cliff drop-offs) gravel road. Besides the English girls our biking group had ten Israeli’s, all of whom the word “kamikaze” comes to mind.
To check out the condition of our bike ride, check out this hilarious YouTube video from Top Gear
Confession: the next day we snuck into the La Paz Radisson lobby for a little taste of home... a western toilet, that is. Dear Bolivia, the toilet situation is atrocious. I now carry toilet paper in my purse instead of lipstick... the sign of a true traveler?
ok seriously watching the youtube of the bike ride almost gave me a heart attack - I like to think I am pretty adventurous, but you guys are crazy!!! Love it!
