Steve Harrigan‘s conversation with a colleague prior to arriving in Bolivia:
“You’re gonna be a giant there.”
“Yeah.”
“They’re short because of the altitude.”
“Yeah. So where do we fly?”
“We fly into Santa Cruz, then catch a flight to Cochabamba.”
“Then we have to drive?”
“Yeah. Then we drive to Chapare.”
“I bet it’s a nice paved road.”
“Yeah. He said it’s four-wheeled drive. That’s why I’m bringing two vehicles.”
“That’s a brutal itinerary.”
“You’re traveling light.”
“Yeah.”
“You didn’t bring any…”
“Respirator?”
“Did you bring a gas mask?”
“Yes.”
“F that. Just give me an f-ing wet towel.”
“If you get gassed at that altitude you’re gonna go down.”
“If I go down just make sure you roll on it.”
