Back in Bolivia


It's November already! Lydia and I are still busy at school of course, but this year Ray is teaching an ESL class for a mixed group of students and professionals. We had a four-day weekend a while back and so took a short trip to Cochabamba. A nice change from Santa Cruz. We flew in and took a grueling 8 hour bus trip back. It's a beautiful city, famous for having the tallest statue of Christ in the world - a few cm's taller than the one in Rio. We also visited a reserve for unwanted pets - mostly monkeys and parrots, but we were told there were also some jaguars and such lurking in the background. One monkey stole our hotel key out of Ray's pocket. But we used our superior intelligence to divert his attention and snatch it back!
