Buenos Aires!!

So after 3.5 months in Bolivia, a few days in Peru, a little over a week in Chile and a week in Uruguay I found myself in Buenos Aires with Jenny!! It was a wonderful end to an amazing 4.5 months and I dont know if ive ever gotten along with someone as well as i do with Jenny or had as much spontaneous adventure and fun! Here are only a few pictures from my very few days in Buenos Aires. On Feb. 11th I head back south again first to Chile to visit someone and then I am off to Buenos Aires until the end of JULY!!! Stay tuned!

Last days in LA PAZ....

leaving Bolivia was very emotional and sad and hard and i felt ready but also like i wanted to stay forever. here are some pictures from my last week in which i ate my way through the week in order to savour all the flavas of bolivia before i left. i lived in a building called building santa monica for my last week, at some ceviche, said bye to my family, ate a pastel with cheese, took a picture of the entrance of bolivia from peru, ate some fresh trout from lake titticaca and was on my way to peru. i walked across the border. it was fun.

Que te llamas? 1 de Mayo. Club de Madres.

The community I have been working in for the past 3 weeks. Its a moms club and they sew and knit together every morning. I am going to be this little guys godmother and attend his baptism in March apparently. Also, I am knitting a hat with llamas on it. The moms are amazing and I miss them already. Hopefully in February before I go to Buenos Aires I will be able to come back and visit them for a little bit. The pictures below are of the community, the women, an exposition of the things they make, frying treats for the exposition and of course the KIDS! They want me to start a co-op with them and sell the "aguayos" or tapestries in the United States and then share the money with them to help the community. The picture with the older woman and me with the baby on my lap... look at that one carefully... that tapestry is what they want to make and sell. Would you buy that? The aguayos are GORGEOUS so I think I know all of your answers already.

I like to call this section my random section. Why? Because its a compilation of random pictures that have nothing to do with each other. (1) a sign of a dog pooping (2) a large collection of plastic bottles on top of a small car. people also move their couches and belongings this way (3) view from airplane of Bogota, Colombia when I had to make an emergency landing on my way to Miami (4) graffiti in la paz (5) graffiti in cochabamba
