Helen's Andean Adventure

Things I learned while in Bolivia:

1) tons of Bolivian slang (including some Aymara and Quechua words)
2) what real development is all about (change of beliefs and traditions) and how hard the real development work is
3) how awesome fruit and vegetables grown without chemicals can taste
4) that I absolutely love steak
5) how to tell apart llama, alpaca, and vicuna
6) that there are Russians in every corner of this planet
7) how to survive in a fairly cold climate
8) what real Christian hospitality and kindness are like
9) that my favorite method of public transportation is definitely the train
10) that I ABSOLUTELY love to travel!!!
