We Made It

I am typing from a hotel in La Paz, Bolivia. After a looooong venture through 2 countries, and almost missing our first two flights we arrived in La Paz around 3:00pm Alberta time. While arriving, our team thought of the video talking about how the atmosphere of the altitute would be like getting punched in the gut. Well, it wasn´t that bad, but our team defiatly were very light headed all yesterday. We kept physical activity to a minimum as suggested as to not pass out. Today, after adusting to the altitude, are feeling better and we are all very apreciatinve of a bed after sleeping on airport benches for a day and a bit. We are going to be going down to Caranavi today and spend half of our trip with Jay and Paul Michealson (Our hosts) constructing a youth Center.

Our trip is divided up into 2 halves. First off is the construction, the the later half is working at an orphanage and helping out the Crafts in thier work. Bolivia is amazing and its about 16 degrees celcius out and a bit overcast. I hope to update this blog soon. Out hosts say we can use their internet but Bolivian internet leaves somthing to be desired.

Also I am sorry for any spelling mistakes, Please forgive me. If you saw the keybord im typing on...my goodess. The letters are on tape...lets just say that. Anyway just letting everyone know we´re alive!!

Peace Out
