Just How High Is It?

In the U.S. Denver is famous for being the "mile high" city. If La Paz were superimposed on Denver; it would be buried 8,000 feet below the city streets of La Paz!






That means La Paz could sit near the top of one of the tallest mountains in the U.S. The top of 14,411 foot tall Mt. Rainier in Washington State is at about the same elevation as La Paz's airport in El Alto!

This is me walking with some strays on a street in the city. This was my first area on my mission.
