We’ve only been here a week, but it seems much longer. We had an orientation with some Latin link members who have been here for 8 years. They showed us around and helped us change money etc. We started language school on Tuesday and have had four hours a day – plus homework! We both feel very tired at the end of the day, but feel we are making good progress. Our Spanish is still slow, disjointed and badly pronounced but we have a sense of humour and can laugh at ourselves. Especially when I tried to ask my teacher for a glass of water and I actually asked her for a kiss!! vaso/beso ?!?
The house we are staying in is nice and clean. There is a shower, locally known as a “widow maker” as you can see the bare wires sticking into the wall. No major shocks so far.
We have been to the market and seen some unusual sights and even more peculiar smells…. coca leaves and all sorts and parts of animals for sale! We have been to church (recognised one song … thanks Manny) and met some lovely people.
Thinking and praying for everyone back in UK. Would love to hear from you either by e- mail, message on website or old fashioned snail mail. It takes about 3 weeks to get here. Casilla 4941, Cochabamba, Bolivia. And after mid October it would be best to send mail (or parcels) to our next address which will be Casilla 215, Sucre, Bolivia

Hi guys, I have a little downtime from work, so what better way of spending my time than having a chat with my lovely friends in a far away land.
The pictures are amazing and it just shows what a vast and diverse world we live in.
When I read your words I can just hear your voices coming out from the pages.
Remember to keep smiling, keep going and keep the faith.
Lots of Love Owen (Coops)
