Hello all who read this blog. I am now down in Bolivia, and have found a slow but working internet connection! We all managed to survive the plane rides and custums, aquired visas etc, then spent the night in  Santa Cruz, then took a bus up to Monte Blanco, which is the former Tambo MK school in the middle of nowhere. The bus ride from Santa Cruz to here actually ended up being about an hour longer than the flight from Miami to Santa Cruz, over very bad, and sometimes non-existent roads. About 3/4 of the way there, we stopped in the middle of nowhere of the middle of nowhere, where we managed to find restrooms! Well… Sort of… No need to elaborate on that here, you can ask me when I get back if you really want to know. ANYway, we got in at about 12:00am local time, which is eastern time in the US, slept, then made our way up the road to the orphaniage in Comarapa where we´re doing our work. We spent the day moving rock and gravel preparing for the concrete basketbal court, and other odd jobs such as sewing curtain rings on curtains, and assembling furnature. We´re all kind of dirty and tired, but we got quite a bit done, and the weather was very nice for manual labor.

Sorry to cut this short, but I have a limited amount of time on here, and I´m being called to work on a skit we´re doing for the kids, so I will hopefully post more later if I get a chance.

TTFN!
