I'm back from Cochabamba. It was a hectic couple of days. Lots of traveling around, meeting new people, introducing myself, and listening to different tips on living in Bolivia. I was shown the ropes of SIM ministries in Coch by a nice woman named Amalia. She was very busy taking me to tons of different places. We went to the SIM Boliva office, the Christian school they run, and this morning we even managed to drive the two hours out of the city to see the camp. The ride there was with the camp director in his Toyota suv. The ride back was in a minivan (called a truffie) with eight other people- three in front, for in the middle (where I was) and two in the hatch back. I left for La Paz today at 2:00 and Ramiro picked me up from the airport.
I didn't take any pictures of Cochabamba, but I've got four months left to accumulate vast quantities of pictures, so I'm not too torn up about it. Cochabamba does have the biggest statue of Jesus in South American... and I think maybe the world. It's bigger than the one in Brazil. Anyway, that was Coch. It was more exhausting than anything, but I got some good orientation training.
Tomorrow I meet my Bolivian family. I don't know what to expect, but it should be pretty cool. It's late and I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
