The 1000 Day Holiday

 A major game in the Boliva football league was on tonight. So we decided this was a must see.

High/low lights:

• Chanting from the ´serious´supporters behind the goals.
• aerial fireworks being thrown onto the field, with the explosions hitting players
• 11 Yellow cards and 3 red cards. A super clean game!
• 1 fatality when supporters rushed an entrance gate trying to get into the game and crushed a woman.

Different people from the hostel had decidedly different experiences. We were alright, as we were in more expensive seats ($6) via another entrance. some trying to get in with $1.50 tickets were treated to police in riot gear w police dogs & tear gas as they tried to restore order where the woman was hurt.

Today I also visited the Boston Clinic in La Paz to get a followup malaria test.

This is a simple procedure.

However once this had been done. I was introduced to another 3 doctors and 4 nurses.

The purpose? To have 8 photos of said doctors and nurses with me. Why? Im famous because I have had cerebral malaria.

I think Im going to be posted on their noticeboard in the foyer…  Awaiting the results now…
