I am sitting in my room at Hotel Esmeralda in Coroico, Bolivia; the view is spectacular. The valley below me is completely obscured by clouds but I have a clear view of the mountain peaks. I am overlooking the town, which lays to my west. In the distance is a snow covered peak.
Yesterday I biked down here from La Paz on "El Camino del Muerte", the road of death. As long as you are paying attention there is no great danger. Look down to see why your derailer isn't changing gears and you could sail off the edge of the road, down 600 meters to a quick death.
