Well, we are off the big city today. The people of CERENID had a little going away ceremony. All the kids made little gifts for us, and CERENID gave each of us a T-shirt. All of the group experienced a sudden case of allergies or something, I think, because there was a lot of sniffling going on and there was not a dry eye in the house. There are some very big hearts in Bolivia. I am amazed at what they are willing to give, having so little.
I promised some of the crew that we would have lunch at the Burger King. It is surprising how you crave something not because it is good, but just because it is familiar. I took the opportunity to run across the park and see Jackie at he New Tribes Mission House. As it turned out, Marg and Jake were staying there, waiting for another family to come in. It is a small world! We checked back into the Suiza Hotel, and walked down town to the central plaza.
The rest of the day was spent down town shopping and looking. We had a great dinner at a place called Cafe 24--right off the square. There was talk of ice cream, but, after the meal, only Neil and Alicia had room for it. The group split up after dinner to go to the internet café or the art galleries or to go on a marathon hike led by Corinne and Lyle. Eventually everyone walked back home and retired to their respective rooms settling in for a good nights’ sleep.
