Goodbye Bolivia

It’s our last day in Bolivia and I’m super sad to go. The second I stopped being homesick and started enjoying it and speaking better Spanish it’s time to leave. However, I’m looking forward to more atmosphere, fewer roosters and access to the ocean.

For our last day in Bolivia we visited Chacaltaya, the world's highest developed ski resort, pictured here. At 5400m the 1km hike was exhausting, but it made it was an incredible end to the trip. From the summit we could see the Andes stretching out around us, Illimani to the South, Illamupu to the North, La Paz and Lake Titicaca to the West and Huyani Potosi to the East. In some ways it seems so simmilar to Seattle, with Rainer to the South, Baker to the North, the Cascades to the West and the Olympics to the East.

So that's all for Allyabroad the Bolivia edition. Stay tuned for Allyabroad in the Peace Corps, coming 2010.
