Yes, my northern hemisphere friends, it is now officially spring here in South America. My roommates and I got these beautiful flowers to celebrate the start of primavera for 10 bolivianos, which is less than $1.50! I'm going to get some spring cleaning done today on my day off. Here in Bolivia they have holidays for kids, just like Mother's Day, etc. Today is Students' Day. So happy Students' Day and happy second day of Spring from La Paz! Don't be too jealous. We didn't have Labor Day off, and I miss the sweet time of fall with the leaves changing colors and pumpkins and the crispness of the air. Fall in that way doesn't really happen here, even in April. But it's still bella, and I intend to enjoy the 75-degree weather and sunny skies until Christmas!Monday, September 22, 2008
