The Bolivian Congress is an ornate building in the Spanish Colonial
style. It is also a study in cognitive dissonance. Located on the Plaza
Murillo, one of the central squares of Bolivia's main city, La Paz, it
is flanked by the Presidential Palace, the Cathedral and the mausoleum
of Bolivia's second president, Andr=E9s Santa Cruz, who fought alongside
Sim=F3n Bol=EDvar. Around these decorous buildings, soldiers in red
pseudo-19th-century uniforms stand at attention or march ceremoniously
from point to point. Were it not for the fact that most of these young
recruits have the broad Indian faces of the Andean altiplano, or high
plains, and that those gawking at them in the square are also
themselves mostly indigenous, it would be easy to become confused and
believe you were in some remote corner of Europe, albeit the Europe of
a century ago.
