Im not sure if I told anyone this, but those that know me well know that coffee and cafe culture is a big one for me.
Local shops + local or exotic brews = flavour and (even more importantly) chi-country.
Thanks to an epic coffee blog ( http://www.cosycoffeeshops.co.uk/2010/07/el-consulado-la-paz-bolivia.html), we found ourselves being lead to a great cafe in downtown La Paz (P.S. We are in La Paz, Bolivia now)
A super chill setting - Kinda Victorian with some French country flare (not even sure if French-country flare is a real thing or what Victorian actually looks like - but it sounds cool).

Miguel served us up a mean French press of their epic brew - Manaipata - the best coffee from Los Yungas - Bolivia's revamped mountainous region giving birth to some of the worlds best beans.

This beauty brew set us on into a caffeinated flavour country. A great way to kick off the day (At 11:30am - don't judge me :)). Oh yah, the cheese helped too.

Why not toss a cheese plate in there for $5 CAD

Just to kick everyone in the face with El Consulado's awesomeness, you can buy some wicked crafts, coffee beans, some real baby-alpaca gear and top it off with a night stay for $120 a night (we didn't, but if your going on a 2 month'er vs. an 11 month'er, I would strongly RECO it).
Now, Fern Szpirglas isn't on this trip with us, but from the moment we walked in there I could sense her stamp of approval.
All for now. Peace, Love and death road biking (a little foreshadowing for our next blog).
