No new news on Jose Manuel...so I'm guessing that's good. Tim (one of our interns from Canada) is sick though. Stomach stuff... The doc has him on meds and a special diet. It sounds like he'll be fine, but pray for him. Being sick in a foriegn country is lame.
Things are going well so far in Canada. The weather's been nice and it's been great seeing people. But since that's about all I've got to say, I thought I'd post some pictures from Bolivia, to keep things interesting here. These are pictures from Jimmy's and my road trip to Cochabamba a few weeks ago. We went to help my friend Amy (and bring her a couch).
Come back tomorrow or the next day and I'll post a few more pictures of our time in Cochabamba.
It was a great roadtrip!

Jimmy and I wanted to get a tarp to cover the couch
and stuff for the trip. We weren't sure how big it should be
so we told the guy 10 x10. He didn't have 10 x 10 so he asked if
5 x7 would be okay. We thought that might be too small,
but we figured we could make due.
I think it was big enough.
With ten guys "helping" it only took three tries of
packing and unpacking the furniture before we figured it all out...
I've said it before and I'll say it again...
When Bolivian roads are good...they're great!
When they're bad...they're basically non-existent.
There were lots of stop and take a picture
moments, since Jimmy had never been out of
Santa Cruz before...
The last gas station before the "highway" got really adventurous.
Of course we later discovered we weren't in the right line....
but that's another story.
There were some pretty spectacular views.
We made some friends...
Eventually we got up into the clouds.
It made driving a bit complicated...
...but it sure was pretty...
There were a few sights that you don't normally
see in Saskatchewan...
We had fun taking pictures.
Some good advertising for Toyota...
Speaking of advertising for Toyota...
Ah yes...the "highway"...
There weren't exactly a lot of 7-11's or gas stations along the way...
Come back tomorrow or the next day and I'll post a few more pictures of our time in Cochabamba.
It was a great roadtrip!

I can think of another great road trip coming up:)
I look at those pictures and I instantly get that same feeling of panic I experience whenever I am lucky enough to make that drive!
