Spring Break part 1

Oh my gosh…Is it really May?? Does that really mean that we will be back in the States in less then 1 month?? We have survived our first year in Bolivia! And I don’t think we would have made it unless our friends had come down for a visit this past Spring Break. Karen, Diane, and Chris, Thank you. We could not have made it if you did not come. I am not saying it bad down here, just saying, Man we really miss our friends. It was good to have a ‘taste’ of home. (Thank you for all the treats you brought us!)

It is Amazing how much fun can be packed into one week. Here is the run down of all that we did.
* hung in CBBA. Ate good food, ran up Christo, showed off our school (me judging my kids a the science fair), and headed to the largest open-air market in the western hemisphere.



* Then night bused to Potosi, where we went caving and then broke into what used to m the famous World Mint. At one time, all coins in the world were made here. Bill even made his own coin. (John and Chris were not here because Chris missed his flight and John had to go and meet him in Sucre.)

* They made it just in time for us to take the next overnight bus to Tupiza where we were met at 3am by our new friends the owned the hostel where we would being staying. (Ariel and Sylvia, we miss you!)



* Woke up early and met our new four-legged friends. We started our 2 day horse back riding tour through beautiful landscape that We had never seen before.





Bill had a rough time when horse took off at full speed around the corner and tried to jump the hole behind him. Only had a broken rib-WAY PAINFUL. I decided to stay with Bill, while the rest of the group continued on. Glad I stayed, no way Bill would have survived the 21 hour train ride with out me...:)
















Next Spring Break the plan is to hit up the Salar de Uyuni (salt flats, if you want to join us.)


John will do part 2 soon! I will post the pics to web album then!!
