I totally just got hit on by a Bolivian Rock Star...

...Okay, that might be a minor exaggeration. According to some colleagues, he was indeed directing his attention towards me - that part's not so much an exagerration. However, I think it would be exaggerating to call him a Bolivian Rock Star. He is the singer of a Bolivian cover band that plays all the hits of the 70s and 80s and makes regular appearances at Fulvio's Piano Bar. They were fresh off a whirlwind tour of Peru and other parts of Bolivia, like Potosi. Their set list included the works of Pat Benetar, Kool and the Gang, and Boney M.

The flirting part was probably partially my fault. They played Gloria Gaynor. I guess I was singing along to "I Will Survive" a little too heart-felt-ly, and he noticed.

I did buy their CD though. Just for the memories.

Now it's 2:30am. I'm getting a wake up call in about 2 and a half hours and then I'm off to the airport. Now, the lyrics to "I Will Survive" take on new meaning. I'm exhausted and not looking forward to sitting in an airport again for a few hours. Though it was worth it. I'm telling you, going to Fulvio's and rocking out to Antologia... there's no better place to spend your last night in La Paz...
