And Now What!

Cordillera Real under some heavy clouds

Currently, Merilee and I find ourselves volunteering at a small daycare for people that work at the market. The organization, Corazon Inquieto, was founded by a Dutch woman named Helen who decided that the kids hanging out doing nothing all day at the market could have a fun and educational place to go. The morning session consists of kids ages 2-6 who come to play and get kind of a preschool type experience. The afternoon are kids who have entered primary school and are coming to an afternoon program to do homework, activities and hopefully have some fun. We will be here for the next two weeks before we take off for our final leg of the journey into Santiago.

We have also been keeping ourselves busy with being sick. But, we both started recently on heavy doses of antibiotics and they appear to have erradicated the bugs that make water come out for numbers 1 and 2. Too much information I am sure.

We also spend our time at the Cyclist cafe baking goods (Merilee usually), cleaning dishes, and even refilling napkin holders. But it is fun, we meet many cyclists that are on their way somewhere. Currently, there are two Englishmen and one French swiss dude at the house, so never a lack of dirty clothes and bicycles in the apartment.

And that is our small semblance of a normal life here in La Paz. Although, I hope when my real normal life returns I do not have to dodge cars driving crazily through the streets.
