First of all, I have to appologize for the lapses in updating this blog. Computers are hard to come by in Bolivia and good computers are even more rare! We´ve encountered a few problems, mainly from internet connection speed and reliability. I can´t tell you how many times computers have frozen as soon as I try to upload images (probably has a bit to do with the OS being microsoft as well). We will do our best, but bare with us.
So we finally encountered people!!! My family finally showed up and in a big way! We met with some of my cousins that have the alcohol tolerance of horses!!! (we evidently don´t). They had a party for us on Tuesday night then took us to a club. We have mixed feelings about this because it was one of the best times we´ve had in our lives and culminated with the worst hangover
day we´ve ever had!!! Didn´t help that we also came down with some sort of stomach flu at the same time.
It´s one of my cousins birthday this saturday and in grand bolivian fashion, she is hosting a three day long celebration starting tonight. Brandy and I have run away to a city in the rainforest called Coroico (don´t think we can handle three days of binge drinking). I am now feeling better, but brandy is still having bouts of fever and nausea. This made the trip up here very interensting for us and all 700 other travelers who piled into a minivan to get here. This place is beautiful and we have the most amazing view from our hotel room. We are taking a tour of waterfalls tomorrow morning (that is if Brandy is feeling up to it).
We were supposed to be on our way to Peru, but my cousin convinced us to stay for her birthday celebration... we will be making our way back to La Paz either tomorrow night or Saturday morning. Should be interesting!

Paul, with all the beer at the studio and pretty much everytime we are with Monte, we have to drink something you would think you would be in better shape. Hope you start feeling better.
