A week at a glance


Well, this was my last week of work, except that I decided to be sick again and stayed in bed most of the week.I did finish all my research projects on Monday and got good reports from my boss about my work. Im beginning to realize that I only have a little more than a week left here in Bolivia, which makes me very sad.The good-byes have already started.
Things I will miss the most about being here:
-cheap and easy public transportation (once you figure it out)
-being called reinita, hermosa, querida, etc (on the street and among friends)
-having a maid who cooks delicious lunches and makes your bed for you when you leave in a hurry in the morning
-being surrounded by beautiful mountains everywhere you look
-clear blue sky everyday
-having a sister/friend my age very similar to me in character and preferences
-incredibly delicious bread and meat and amazingly fresh vegetables and fruit (including freshly squeezed fruit juice every morning)
-big family lunches after church on Sundays where the whole family gets together
Things still to look forward to:
-My friend Meg (from grad school)coming on Friday
-trip to Peru (Cusco and Macchu Pichu) over the weekend
-trip to the Salar de Uyuni after Peru
-one more glance at the magnificent Lake Titicaca
-souvernir shopping
-finally being warm and sweating again (back in DC)
