Bolivia has one of the biggest or the biggest salt flat in in the whole entire world. It's a touristic city called Uyuni and so it has this big salt flat and it's basically at 12,000 feet and it's just this ever-growing salt flat and so you can take pictures and you can kind of get to know a little bit more of the culture of mining around in those areas because there's a lot of mining especially in Potosi with the big mountain they call Cerro Rico which has been mined for the last 500 years.

Bolivia is a very poor country. Part of that has to do with the fact that it's landlocked, and it wasn't always that way. It used to be part of Peru. They were connected, they're brothers, but over time they lost a lot of their land and became landlocked. They recently were trying to get use of the ports in Chile, I believe, but were denied. And that's made for a lot of poverty. In Bolivia, I noticed that there was a lot of poor and then some very wealthy, but not a really strong middle class. It does, though, have a lot of wonderful natural resources. It is rich in natural resources. It's just not utilized well or managed well to make the people wealthy, which is unfortunate.
