Why Is There a La Paz by: David Boldt
I´d like to know how to get the article. I´ve always been curious as to why there is a La Paz. Most cities are either at the crossroads of two main trade routes, or at a break in transportation where people have to switch from, say, boats to wagons, or the center of a farming region. Some capitals are neutral turf between population centers picked as a compromise. La Paz in none of the above. It was, as nearly as I can tell, only a place for silver-laden mule trains en route from Potosi to Lima to get out of the wind and drink some clean water. What, I´m given to wonder, keeps that city in business these days besides bureaucracy and the family fortunes of the descendants of tin potentates who, for some reason or other, chose to stay in this cold, wind-blown, oxygen-deprived environment? Something to think about as we approach Santa Cruz Day and contemplate its relation to the nation's distant second city.
