This weekend I got to travel with some friends from language school to the Uyuni Saltflats...what an incredible treat! From volcanoes, to flamingos, and lots and lots of salt...we saw it all. Not a ton of sleep, but a whole bunch of hilarious, unforgettable good times.
Our field trip group!
Lago Colorada - Red Lake - pretty amazing
Flamingos!
Saltflats with Matteo, Lauren, and Mauge
Hot springs - did not want to leave! :)
Geysers
Two of my best buds here
Mi madre Boliviana...MAUGE!
Seriously don't know what I'd do without her...
Mauge's the director of our language school, one of my teachers, nurse, role model, and friend here in Coch. I cannot say how thankful I am for the way she takes care of me outside of school. Absolutely LOVE her.
After a weekend that surpassed all expectations, I was glad to walk in the gates of the Baby Home today and get to hug our tias and ninos!
So glad you're back safe and sound!! I was thinking of y'all a lot these days. Great pics! And someday I WILL get to Uyuni myself now that practically ALL my volunteers have gone... ~sigh~
ReplyDeleteHow crazy is this: today I talked with missionaries to Uruguay who, hearing that I'm from Cochabamba, immediately asked "Do you know Mauge? She's GREAT!" They studied Spanish with her four months for a brush-up.
sav, why are you wearing shorts in the one picture where everyone else is bundled up in scarves, etc.?
