So, we got up today for a 9am bus ride, which was supposed to be 7 hours... We got in at 6pm... I was so stir crazy by the end! We got wicked held up by a roll over for two whole hours and everyone on our bus really had to pee, so we all got out and peed in a ditch. There were maybe 6 of us all in a row right by the street, which made for quite a picture.
The views on our trip were really varied and spectacular. There were tons if hills and plains and lots and lots of cows. It was really open and uncrowded, which I didn´t expect at all.
We are now in Cochabamba, a pretty good sized city. Tonight I am just taking it easy, but we'll be meeting our host family and starting our Spanish lessons. It's also Caneval starting tomorrow, so there will be tons of parties and festivals, which I am really looking forward to.
Thanks for all of the updates, Z. It sounds great so far, if tiring. When do you go back to La Paz? maybe by then you'll be more adjusted to the altitude and will ahev more energy for exploring. Keep writing!
