After years of dreaming and planning, we retired from our jobs in California, sold our home in the foothills, and moved to Sucre, Bolivia, in October of 2007. Here we plan to stay for seven months, studying Spanish and traveling at intervals throughout the country. After that we plan to return for two months to visit family and friends, then back to Bolivia, and so on, for how long, we don't yet know. "The time had come...we went!"
