Yesterday we got to watch a fútbol (soccer) game! I just love watching fútbol, it is such a blast. It was a big game…the Cochabamba team (Wilsterman) and San Jose (from Orruro) played and the opposing team ended up winning. One thing is for sure that Latin Americans love their fútbol! When we were leaving the game we were going to walk up the street to go get something to eat and all of a sudden everyone started running our direction….so what do I do, I just stand there and try to figure out what is going on. I thought maybe someone got carried away and was armed and dangerous. Then we soon discovered that the police had let out some tear gas to control some of the crazy fans, but they ended up losing control of it…as our eyes and throats started burning we soon began running too! It was the weirdest thing…I can’t say that I have ever experienced tear gas before yesterday!

We had a meeting with Mike yesterday and he was telling us how grateful he was for the work we have done here. In saying that he said they wanted to show their gratitude by taking us White Water Rafting, but he wasn’t sure if my last busy week could permit that. And I said hold up, yes I am for sure very busy, but I can definitely squeeze in White Water Rafting! So, we are going and I am super pumped! I think we are going to go on Wednesday. It’s actually out in Chapare (the jungle). It will be a day trip and I cannot wait for it! Then Thursday night some of my Bolivian friends are having a little get together so I can say my hasta pronto’s! Then of course there is still more to look forward to! Oh, and I have the pleasure of picking up my passport only 2 days before I leave, I am a little bit nervous about that! The travel agency has had my passport ever since I got here because they have been working on my visa, and she told me I could pick it up on Thursday…I am trusting in Jesus (not her) that it will all go according to plan! I am pretty sure I covered all the bases for now, especially since this is an extra long blog posting! Don’t you worry there will be more to come….
