Over the past three weeks I have met so many wonderful people.
One of the biggest blessings I’ve had so far was meeting Amber and Haley Miller, sisters from Texas who were here for month, a few weeks of which overlapped with my time here.
Amber has been here several times before, Including a long term stay at the very beginning of Casa de Amor.
Over the past few weeks, Amber has been our tour guide/translator/fearless leader in a number of outings.
One such outing was to Cochabamba’s big tourist spots, the Cristo.

Basically, we: Walked, took a bus, walked, took the ‘gondala things’ up to the Cristo, took pictures, watched a rain storm encircle the city of Cochabamba but never make it to us, swing and play on a teater-totter, made friends with a horrible mangy dog, went back down, played in the park we had to pay 2bs to walk through just to get the the ‘gondala things’, walked more, got some delicious icecream, walked, changed our minds about where we were going, took a truffi to the best place for “trancapechos” (see below for explanation) in town, then hopped on a bus back home.
Long day. Lots of walking.
Please enjoy the below photos!

Me and Coch!

Amber, Me and Haley, on the way up...not gonna lie, I was a little scared.

Glad we didn't take the stairs....

The view was awesome!

My poor tired feet....

We really enjoyed the little playground at the top.

We also really enjoyed the playground at the bottom.

....a lot

Each of these was 15bs ($2.14) and it was a TON of ice cream.

And the day ended with Trancapecho's : Bread, fried potato slices, meat, fried egg, rice, more meat, tomatoes onions etc. Very good!
