Last Day
I started getting a little teary eyed the day before, on the train, looking out of the window on the unforgettable altiplano and the mountains and realizing that I wasn’t going to see this scenery anymore. Good thing that the last day was very busy…the three of us (Sara, Meg, and I) left the house early to finish some last minute shopping, introduce Meg to saltenas (typical Bolivian food), and to tour the beautiful church of San Francisco, which turned out to be a very enlightening tour during which I learned a lot about the history of Bolivia, La Paz, and the Catholic Church in Latin America. Souvenir shopping was quick and crazy (soooo much stuff to choose from), and packing was even worse (why do I always bring so much stuff when I travel???) At night we hung out the family, ate pizza, and took some last-minute pictures, battling with the self-timer function on my camera. After sleeping about 2 hours, we left at 4am for the airport, and about 7am our plane got in the air, leaving the beautiful country that I grew to love behind.(The pictures are of the view of La Paz and Illimani (the mountain) from a overlook platform at a hotel and of the family I stayed with).
