Still in Cochabamba

It is now day three of my grand Visa adventure. My first day was composed of getting fingerprints taken, signing about twenty papers, then waiting around for the next day. The next day I was supposed to get blood tests and my fingerprints taken, but the place was closed, so I had all day to myself. Today I gave my blood to the government and gave them some more fingerprints. They really like fingerprints here. I wonder if they like finger painting...

My plane leaves tonight at 8:00. I wish I could say "that is that" and dust off my hands in triumph, but I can't. I have to come back next Tuesday for even more beaurocratic fun. I might even get to make more fingerprints! Maybe I should sand off my fingertips, just to mess with em.

My time here has been alright though. Last night I went out to eat with a lady named Joanne from Canada (but she's been here for over 25 years) and a Bolivian family. The night before I went out for ice cream with Dave and Dana, the caretakers of the guesthouse. They're like grandparents. Very nice people.

I'm going to go get some sleep. I did a lot of walking and rushing around today. Thanks for keeping up with my blog. I wish everyone back home a happy November 13.
