How hot has the weather been down there? Or not too hot due to altitude? From the looks of your pics, the weather seems to have been more than cooperative.

If you got more pics in store, please put them up whenever you can! :D

Isn't this where the violent protests/clamp down/etc was going on just a couple months back? Looks like things are back to normal.
