Typical night in Bolivia

Hop on a public bus and head for dinner.

Finally found decent pizza place.

John's chair breaks at the ice cream parlor.


Okay, so most night we are asleep by 10:30? But some nights we go out.

Welcome to the jungle--Santa Cruz

Drew, Ann, John and I decided to get away for the weekend and head to Aqua Land in Santa Cruz. What could be better then a water park in Bolivia? Hummm??


Day One: The Zoo


Zoo's in Bolivia are a little different then in the States. Some of there animal are free to roam around the park. This poor sloth was getting carried around by small children as he was too slow to get away. He was clearly annoyed.


We were glad some of the animals were in cages. Very small cages. SAD!!!


Day Two: AQUA LAND!!! Oh wait! We are in Bolivia, and it's closed??? Instead we found this really cool pool. So, John and Drew pretended they were at Aqua Land.





Yes, Ann and I realize that we married BIG KIDS!! We are glad they have each other.

At the pool there was a butterfly park and a bird jail (AKA bird observatory?)


We fed the birds.

Almost got attacked.

Hiked to the top for sunset.

Great view. Great weekend.
