I'M STILL ALIVE
I did this just out of boredom, also taking advantage of the fact that Gladion just came out in Masters 😋
Poor Silver, he has to put up with an angry, unloving guy and a dwarf with hormonal problems (lol)

Sucre - Bolivia
Known also as:
The city of white [La ciudad blanca]
Charcas - or Charkas (From Aimaran language, which means something in the likes of "the land enclosed within rocks")
The city of silver [La ciudad de plata]
The city of the four names [La ciudad de los cuatro nombres]
And a little more unformally as:
The city of mads [La ciudad de los locos]
It's known as such because is the first and biggest center for medical health institutes.
The other names derive from the white and almost silver-like looks of the colonial style houses that are in the city. Goverment pays its residents a little fee, for which they can buy white paint and keep the city looking bright and clear, as it always has.
The city is also known for having the most fossil prints on the world, making it quite the attraction for paleontologist and dinosaur enthusiast alike.
================================================
So basically a friend of mine from Bolivia is in Sucre, and she took a bunch of photos of the city, and i just couldn't resist the urge to just upload all of them here.
Me being me, a sucker for colonialist architecture aesthetics and a big lover of big clear blue skys, I just find the city to be fascinating, and honestly, I'm a little bit envious ngl.
But yeah, I just wanted an excuse to upload something sky related to the blog and not much else :p
