Things we do

When we aren't adventure-seekers,  life can seem less bloggable. 
But we are still finding some fun things to do.

We went to a Korean store for the rice noodles for our pad thai tonight, and I said 감사합니다  (thank you) to the shop owner, who then smiled and responded back to me in Korean, and then I just blinked and stared. But Stacie said she must have liked my token Korean word since it was the friendliest she's ever seen her.

We find coffee shops and have fantastic Frappuccinos.

We get  $3 manicures. They turned out great too! Pinterest is real!

We eat llama tacos at MadMex!

We preach in the rural area, up the steep, bumpy cobblestone road. We passed some sheep and a cow, and finally found a sweet little kitten at the last door we went to. 

We were able to talk to so many people,  even those walking by said they had a moment to listen.

Show us how it's done, Geraldine

I got to meet Geraldine,  who is 13 and reminds me so much of Emmaline. She is a walking encyclopedia.  She told me all about the history of the cholitas, how their garb is all handmade and expensive, and the differences between the cholitas of La Paz and Cochabamba, like how those from La Paz are more elegant and wear expensive jewelry,  and thus hire body guards.
She was also excellent at talking in the ministry,  so calm and prepared. And she speaks very clear English. 

We want to bring her home with us!

We find street art to get photos with.

I had to stand on the little bus today, stooped over to fit. When a seat became available I attempted to occupy it gracefully,  but instead smashed my head against the dome light, breaking it, and made an awkward slide to the seat across from a child who curiously stared at me for the next 10 minutes.
Then I miscounted and underpayed, but the driver was annoyed enough he just drove away.
I'm fitting-in great!

Well, maybe I am, since I made cuñapés tonight, a traditional Bolivian cheese bread nearly identical to Brazilian pão de queijo, and naturally wheat-free!
