Woke up early to have breakfast before leaving for airport at 8:00a. Today is Yi's birthday and Larry surprised Yi with a birthday present during breakfast. Although our flight to Santiago is at 11:25a, the hotel informed us that there would be demonstration in La Paz today and recommended we leave early. Consistent with our impression of the hotel staff, there was no taxi waiting for us despite the early booking. After 15 mins of waiting, the hotel finally decided to farm out this airport trip to some guy next door (an unofficial taxi in other words). He did a great job getting us there in good time but he complained that the amount the hotel told me (70B) is not enough and wanted 80B. This is despite the official taxi rate was only 60B.
Yi's condition seems to be getting worse. Her lower back started to hurt and she complained of a fever. I found my birthday gift for her at a jewelry store inside the airport - a beautiful Bolivianite necklace.
