To Cairoma along the Kimsa Cruz cordillera
Not long ago when visiting the country of my birth I decided to visit the lands where my grandparents' properties were located: Cairoma and Araca, south of the city of La Paz.

The monochrome photograph shows my father to the left with riding boots next to his father, wearing a hat third from the left; my uncle Alberto, third from the right and his wife the left of my grandfather Molina. This seems to be a marriage of two young locals.
