My school...Highlands International. It used to be a brick factory. You're looking at the computer lab behind part of the playground. (On a side note, if anyone feels compelled to donate $5,000 for new playground equipment, that'd be great!) This is also where I went to church this morning for a Spanish service. A church plant is temporarily meeting in the cafeteria.
I walk out of my classroom to this view all around. Incredible, isn't it?
Don't worry, they're not boys-in-training for the military. This was a school parade of some very talented, young musicians to celebrate Bolivia's Independence Day.
A Cathedral in San Francisco (La Paz, that is). This is where a lot of the market-style shops sell things for cheap, including my scarf, hat, and market bag. The Center, or El Centro, is also where most of the tourists go to shop, stay in the hostels, and book adventurous trips like biking the Death Road and hiking a 19,000 foot mountain. Doesn't that sound exciting? Who wants to come visit?
I'll try to be dilligent about taking and posting more photos. Even though it is difficult for me to be so far away from home, one of the hardest things is not having friends and family here to experience what I'm experiencing. I'll attempt to share as much as I can, but I think there will always be a sadness in me, knowing that people I love won't fully know what life is like here. However, there IS an extra room in our apartment, and food is cheap here. And those frequent flyer miles add up nicely...
