Greg reports that after a good rest day yesterday in La Paz, today the group went back into the mountains, supported by some mules to haul their gear for their trek to Base Camp.  The camp is in a beautiful grassy area at about 15,000 feet, mowed smooth by llamas, mules, horses, and sheep that graze in the area. There is a nice running stream nearby and in the evening the team will get a great view of La Paz night lights.
