This will forever be known as the place that I slept above a video game arcade. Don't judge, sometimes these things must be done...
To understand, one must appreciate that most everything is quite difficult to find in Bolivia. The entire region is altiplano, a flat, high-altitude (4,000+ m/13,000+ ft) desert. Almost nothing grows here; the lack of water and oxygen make it difficult for life to thrive. There is some tuft grass that manages to keep a few sheep and alpaca alive.
And so it is, that I roll into a town of 10,000 people and can't find any type of lodging.... nothing. After four hours of looking, I accidentally come across an all-in-one video game arcade/auto service/computer repair/lodging establishment. Do I mind sleeping above the racquetball court and next to a pinball machine? Not at all!
