La Paz

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.

Bob looks a bit camp!

I think you should spend xmas eating as much as humanly possible (preferably Christmas pudding) and drinking lots (preferably sherry) whilst playing board games with anyone who wants to play them (preferably monopoly).

Couple that with an argument about who does the washing up and it could be Christmas anywhere.

Your view is great!
