Two great things I've seen this weekend:

1.  The work of Freddy Mamani, a Bolivian architect who takes traditional Andean forms and a bright and varied color palette and transforms them into some truly spectacular buildings.



2.  This squirrel that was eating out of a McDonalds dipping sauce tub right outside my window.

That first pic is stunning!

Isn't it? (and to be clear, I didn't take the picture - I just grabbed it from the architectural article I was reading). The exteriors are even more amazing, if only because you don't see exteriors with the same sort of vibrancy.

Those architectural photos are stunners and I want to see them in person.

I know, right? I might have looked up what exactly it would take for me to get to El Alto. I found this interview with Mamani and he mentions that he tries to have at least eight colors in every building - and it works so well.

Welcome! I saw a picture on Twitter and then started googling to find out more.
