¡Potosi No Es Posi!

Originally I wanted to leave Cochabamba for Uyuni on Saturday morning so that I could visit the Uyuni Salar (beautiful dried up prehistoric salt lakes) on my way to meet Jordan. Instead, I stayed a day later than desired for my going away fling - well worth it. As a result, I couldn't catch a bus until Sunday night.

It's Monday morning now and I'm in Potosí, the closest "major" city near Uyuni and the world's highest city at 4000 and something meters. The buses usually leave here every day at 11 for Uyuni, but there's an agrarian strike. The one company that is still running that route failed to mention the strike and the danger factor of trying to reroute a blockade. I'm a little hesitant to go with them.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do - wait it out or head south for something else. Wish me luck!!
