It has been a while since my last email so here is a brief update. (and more importantly my roommate got a digital camera so i have some pictures to share - skip to bottom for instant gratification)
Over the last 6 weeks or so.... I have been spending most of my time with three recently la paz'd gringos - kate (aussie), meagan (california), dan (nyc/boston) - because we have nothing better to do we have taken to calling ourselves 'the orphans.'
Apart from drinking and eating excessively... we have entertained ourselves with a trip to Coroico (in a monsoon), a couple soccer games, listening to Kate's stories (such as running around in the middle of the riots - dodging bullets, giving her email out to old men and how she broke my coffee table), and picking on little children (ok - so that has only been me - but its warranted, trust me).
I also had another 'travel disaster.' I missed a bus to Arequipa, Peru on a Saturday morning - shades of missing the flight to Cuzco in February - and had to postpone the trip (which i will take this weekend).
In the meantime, to keep current with my theme of losing everything I own, I lost my cell phone on a random trip to burger king last weekend. Which leaves me with only my cds left at this point and wondering, why the hell did i go to burger king in the first place?
Dan and I have taken up playing basketball against height challenged Bolivian teenagers. And until I seperated my shoulder we thought we were pretty damn impressive. (well, dan still thinks he is.) basketball has provided the picking on little children outlet i have needed for some time.
This email is also timely as brief farewell to Kate and Dan who are leaving the orphanage for other parts of the world. Kate is travelling the world for the next several months after 3 months in lp. Dan is headed to Peru to beg for money for other companies besides DESATEL. This leaves meagan and i to find the next random group of extranjeros or willing bolivians to create stories with.
Til next time - here are the picks....
