    • On the left you see Claudia (see Pilots), wo joined the team mid of october. In the middle: Matthias Ranner, who is the second deaf German after Tobias. Luckily we're allowed to occupy one room in the church of a German father in El Alto, the ghetto-like 1 Mio aglomeration obove La Paz
    Attempting to find a deaf interested person during the deafs`assembly in La Paz center.
    With the view on La Paz you face Hugo, third from the right, our first Bolivian guy who joins! Teacher in the deaf school "Camino" (La Paz Centro)
    Cold rain and even hail is coming down. Matthias (shortly: Massi) knee is beginning to hurt again - a never perfectly healed up patella injury comes up with every of the 700 high meters we have to go up in order to reach the "cumbre" (4700m), the pass from where we're ought to downhill more than 70 km..
    Here in Bolivia you get often drinks (e.g. Coca tea or coffe) in plastic bags. Absolute proof and you can well warm your hands by this way. By the way: we do have summer in Bolivia. But this means rainy season and in the height of 3500 m + beeing in shadow means cool temperatures.
    Massi isn't cycling anymore - for his knee.
    Already since the top we're part of a stunning fog spectacle: it's coming and going so fast, giving and taking the view on the rocky landscape.

    Here we're at the E.N.D.(E.) of the world...
    Finally the paved road ends and we're on our course to the "Death Road"
    Eureka: on the morning after the second night the fog disappears for a second and let's us forebode bits of this fantastic trail that since 2006 isn`t anymore frequented by cars because there's a new way to Coroico.
    Bolivia, Bolivian and Lama does this sign mean.

    After we've fallen the first 30 km alias 1500 m difference in altitude the first fruits show up: blackberries
    In Coroico we meet Massi again, who was taken due to misunderstandings until Coroico instead of to the cumbre. On the right: the rest of Claudia. The last 6 km really sucked her - the road was steep and of the catogery "empiedrada" - huge round stones built a way.
    4 workshops built our new record - three of them were good one so so. Sometimes depends on the pupils age..

    The girls overtake more and more functions: fire making e.g.
    ...or repairing punctures
    What a handsome knee!

    These little suckers...
    ...have a quite astonishing sustainable and itching bite.
    The women give it a try. After weeks of itching...lemon might heal. Finally they took Anti-Histaminica.

    ...different things the last died person out of the family really liked. She also liked cigarettes and - obviously - coca leaves.

    In the meanwhile we do filter a lot. Right hand side: what you see is probably not the problem...
    ...only dust and sand. The dangerous bacteria and microfauna is hardly visible but stays on the filter's surface, too.
    We feed the over 6 months old children with fat stock - the graffities: "(greatest) liers" - Sponsors of this campaign among others USAID which is beeing critized quite a lot in Bolivia.

    These two men listen to the simultanious happening game in La Paz. Coca, cigarette and Radio.
    Every truck let's us appear a bit browner - they bring so much dust up.
    In this context - climp climp: our great.....

    Fine. And WHEN I try to be handsome attending a bolivian haircutter...don't mention the war...

    The bicest village we have seen so far:
    Polea
    This reminds me so much of the Peterson and Findus comics.
    Without electricity the children grow somehow more natural: I can make them laugh about the German horse that grunts and other lies.

    Not so nice: a cut bail to disable this pet parrot of flying away.
