The Landlocked Navy

There’s a piece of trivia for you: Bolivia is the only landlocked country to have a navy.

Old and New

The locals of Bolivia are among the most traditional I’ve ever encountered – they are almost always dressed in traditional garb, eating local cuisine, and generally living lives strikingly similar to their great-grandparents.  Yet if there is one thing that reminds a tourist of the slow, inevitable, move into modernity, it’s the ubiquitous satellite, allowing even island dwellers to watch the famed telenovelas.
