Bolivia's White City, in Photos
I recently spent four nights in what Lonely Planet calls "Bolivia's most beautiful city," Sucre. They weren't far off. Instead of attempting a description of Sucre's alabaster colonial architecture, here's a selection of photos from the city. The first four were taken around town, the next five at the Convento San Felipe Neri. Enjoy.

Beautiful! Looks like you were lucky with the weather, too. Is that a Liberty Bell??!
i also noticed that liberty bell! is there a story about that?
Thanks for the comments, ladies! Apparently, the cracked bell as a symbol for liberty transcends 1776. Sucre is known as the location of the first move towards independence in South America, in 1809. (If we'd stayed 3 weeks longer, we could have taken part in the bicentennial bash.)
lovely photos, hal!
