This is my view on the way to work as I cross this bridge over the street. GAH. Seriously every day it looks like this--perfectly blue and gorgeous. There are very few street lights in the city, so either there are policeman that direct traffic, or there is chaos. Actually there is just chaos all the time. I love it. I think I would love to drive in this city. I will never get over the beauty of these mountains. In the distance in this pic is La Muela del Diablo--the tooth of the devil. Going to climb it soon.
The fruit here is one of my favorite facets of Bolivian life. Like that alliteration? Mhmm. Every day I drink at least 5 cups of freshly squeezed fruit juice. Amazing. And, I've picked up some useful fruit info, por ejemplo, there are mangOS and mangAS. Who knew.
Work has been great! And a doozy. Whew. So far, I've learned how to use Excel in Spanish, and I've translated several financial presentations into Spanish. My vocab has increased by about 100%, haha, but solely financial terms! Not super helpful in life. Work is a challenge for sure but I am loving finally having a schedule and contributing something to the world.

And, I've picked up some useful fruit info, por ejemplo, there are mangOS and mangAS. Who knew. In other news. Lately... let's see, I watched Toy Story 3 on Sunday, WATCH IT, hilarious, hearing Buzz Lightyear speak in Spanish was kind of a highlight. Tonight was caregroup, love hanging out with these people. This weekend is a youth retreat for the church, down in Las Yungas, which is the jungle-ish area a bit to the north. Apparently one can see llamas on the drive down. I'll keep you posted.
OH sooo good. I want to eat the fruit
