My partner and I came to La Paz in January of 2013. We had been traveling for about 3 years to about 30 countries and we could not find a place to live that we both liked. So we decided to try Uruguay. We were thinking of moving to a city closer to the capital of Uruguay, Montevideom, but someone stole my laptop the second night we were there. It was a pretty traumatizing experience for me. I was really shaken by it. I had to get away the next day to start my recovery.

I had already bought a second hand bike there and left it at the hotel we stayed at, planning to come back later. But so far I have not wanted to go back there. I don't know what has happened with the bike. So I bought another one in Montevideo about 2 weeks later. Before I bought the bike we had been staying a hotel for lovers, or more accurately a hotel for quick sex, near the main street, 18 de Julio. It was called the Hotel Royal I think.
