This photo shows vehicles lining up to take part in an old Bolivian tradition where drivers go to the Copacabana cathedral to get their vehicles blessed for safe travels.
Unfortunately, the blessing did not seem to protect Matt's reed boat souvenirs—which you can see on the back of his bike—when we got to the Peru-Chile border. Customs officers said the toy boats could not enter Chile because they had touched vegetables, which are considered contaminated. —Photographer Henry Von Wartenberg
