Cochabamba/Language School

We are currently in Cochabamba which is a very bumpy plane ride away. The plane ride was about 45 minutes but it felt like forever as it was very bumpy and I was on edge the entire time. As we banked down to begin our dissent I was pretty sure it was not on purpose and we were crashing. I kept looking at the Swis couple next to me with there one year old and they were laughing an having a good time so maybe it was just me who thought imment death was upon us. We met the two directors at the airport and they took us to our host family which is one sweet old lady named Cira and her very young, wild puppy Tango. Cira is awesome. She is an amazing cook and displays this talent three times a day as we eat like kings for every meal. The school is amazing as well. We are either one on one with a teacher in most cases bbut because there are so many students Dee and I are grouped together which is a lot of fun. She is learning very fast I am very impressed. There are students from all over at the escuela de lingua (language school). There are students from Canada, Australia, the US, Switzerland, and Germany. Today we went ventured out of our barrio (neighborhood) and traveled to the heart of Cochabamba. So far we have been to the market and are on our way to the plaz but made a side trip to an internet cafe. Tomorrow we are headed to the jungle on a school field trip which should be awesome. So hopefully when we get back to Montero I can post some awesome puctures..

  1. Epa Mans y Dee.
    Me parece muy chimba (colombian slang means= wonderful) este blog que crearon para contar como les va en Bolivia. No puedo creer que estén en Bolivia, yo se que la van a pasar muy bien y van a disfrutar todo lo que hagan. Hasta ahora lo que he leído parece ser que la han pasado muy bien y que están disfrutando mucho lo que les ha pasado. Me parece genial que estén aprendiendo rápido, tienen que aprender super bien para poder hablar entre nosotros en español, seria muy bueno poder hablar con ustedes en español todo el tiempo, a la vez que seria chistoso jeje. Bueno ojala que la sigan pasando bien y que aprendan mucho español, aunque es muy difícil yo se que van a aprender mucho.
    Abrazos y Besos. Los quiero.
    Saludes a Maya.
