Planes, trains, and automobiles.

Hola! We are the last group of the summer headed to Cochabamba to start our rotation-Drew, Brett, Kasey, and Brett.  After venturing around Peru, we finally crossed into Bolivia. Copacabana was the first stop in Bolivia where we rode in swan paddle boats, got caught in a snow storm, and ate quinoa pudding for desert. After two days, we hopped on a bus to La Paz. The bus ride was supposed to be an hour but our Spanish comprehension may have been lacking since it took 4 hours. Next stop: Cochabamba. In the La Paz bus terminal we wandered around trying to find our departure gate, which was a wild goose chase. Finally, the Bolivar bus pulled out of the station and within fifteen minutes, our bus was in an vehicle collision. We arrived to our wonderful apartment in Cochabamba at 4:00 AM. We are so grateful to start this journey and can't wait to learn along the way. Juana, our Bolivian house mom who will be taking care of us, has been so kind to us this far and took us to the hospital today. We're able to see the BCI clinic and some of the patients. Tomorrow will be the start of our shadowing experiences and we couldn't be more ready and excited. More to come!
