We went for breakfast down in the lobby around 7 ish. While we were having breakfast we met another couple that were riding a motorcycle, John and his wife Sharon, they are riding 2 up on a BMW GS1200. We started talking with them and found out that they were headed the same way we were. Shortly after breakfast they left and then we left about an hour after that. Dad and I just got out of town and decided to get some gas before we got too carried away. While we were getting gas we discovered that I had a flat, so we quickly plugged it up and we were on our way. About 200 clicks down the road we met up with John and Sharon, so we decided to ride with each other to Potosi. We made it to Potosi and Sharon found this hostel that only cost about 20 bucks. After we got settled in we decided to go for a bite to eat with our new friends, but Potosi was having the 200 year birthday. So everything was shut down and the only food you could buy was the little food concessions in the middle of the street. But whatever food is food. The street were crowded and everybody that lived in Potosi was in the main plaza. (which 200,000 people live in Potosi.) So it was just packed with people.
