Hi again, well I have been in and around La Paz for a couple of weeks now and am planning to stay for about another month, as I am now volunteering at a nearby orphanage every afternoon, with 2 to 6 year olds. I am not teaching as such, but organising activites and supervising. Its a lot of fun and is a real diversion from the kind of work i´ve done before. Since Im only at the school in the afternoons, I have the mornings free to play guitar (yep I bought another one) and learn spanish - which does not seem to be improving, except I can now say things like "Stop thowing stones at each other" and "Don´t eat the ants".
Its nice to put down the rucksack for a while and take a break from travelling. So I have rented an appartment downtown for the month, with a cool view! (I need to upload the pictures later)
I seem to remember before I came away that I had 2 definite goals for this trip and that was to go snowboarding and do some volunteering, so with those underway, I need to think up some new ones. Also I need to decide where to go in December - probably Brasil - I like the idea of Christmas on the beach. So if you have a minute drop me an email of what you think I should do and where I should go in December.
a generous photo of "Plaza" Estudiantes (its actually more of a roundabout) My appartment is next to the big palm tree.
arty black and white view at night, of that "oh so quiet" traffic...
...but I do get this nice view of Illimani... No Im not going to climb it, its over 6000m high.
