Yes, I’m in Peru, but this is long overdue. I wrote about the film we shot in the Salt Flats of Bolivia but, I didn’t expound on the beauty of the area. The Salt Flats may look cold and desolate, but they are warm and rich in wildlife and culture.

Panorámica - El Alto, La Paz

Public Speaking Workshop - Saint Andrew’s School
Thanks to our local contact here in Bolivia, an amazing super-woman super-star Viviana Coloma, I was invited to speak at a prestigious private school here in La Paz: Saint Andrew’s School.

Students learn multiple languages from an early age, and the school prides themselves on strong academics, with an emphasis on technology, sports and building well rounded students. It was an honor to be invited to speak.

Salar de Uyuni - Short Film
World’s largest salt flats (~11,000 sq km), Salar de Uyuni was on my Bolivia bucket list. It’s hard to describe the beauty of this desolate, dried up lake. Looks like snow. The exceptionally clear blue skies combined with white as far as you can see make for a brilliant backdrop to shoot a film.

Cholitas Wrestling!
The slogan: Cholitas Wrestling: “Only in La Paz do you get to see the local ladies dishing out more punishment than your local bouncers on a Saturday night!” I can’t even explain how happy this event made me. It was pure joy. Best $15 USD I‘ve ever spent. (Sorry, Patrick. We WILL go back!)

Landing in La Paz, Bolivia
Sunday night, we landed in La Paz, the highest capital city in the world: ~12,000 to ~13,500 feet above the sea. The altitude is no joke, and many Remotes were immediately sick. Thankfully, I’ve avoided any alto affliction BUT, Tuesday, I fell prey to the stomach sickness...
