So this is way overdue, but I have had a busy last week transitioning to moving home, taking classes, and working a ton.  But back when life was simple and good, about two weeks ago, we dyed Sanya’s hair “Chocolate Raspberry Truffle”.  The 15 boys on the gymnastics team we lived with were always so confused by our womanly ways i.e. cooking, grooming, and smelling amazing (according to Jimmy).  Imagine the their confusion when they smell toxic hair dye and hear Sanya and me yelling in the bathroom…well here is the story.

When we are off and about working in other countries, it is not always all exotic, fun and games.  Here is the story of us trying to leave Cochabamba after weeks of hard work and good times.  Although these were some stressful days, (Emily was hospitalized, we had to fight everyday with the airline, etc.) they were some of the best of Bolivia.  I want to give a shout out to Sanya and Laura who we got to spend more time with (after we had said goodbye to them); Andres for making sure we ALL got on a plane ride home; and to Daniel’s mustache.
