Well, We arrived in Cochabamba, Bolivia late in the afternoon on Tuesday. We had no luggage arriving with us. After our hotel stop to check in we walked to see our travel adviser, Lee with Bolivia Cultura. It was there she introduced us to her staff we would be seeing throughout our trip and gave us an introduction to the city of Cochabamba. After visiting Lee, we stopped to have our first meal at Dumbo´s. That was a fun challenge figuring out the menu and how to order. We turned in early on Tuesday since we had been traveling since Monday at 2ish.
On Wednesday morning we met Bolivian author Gaby Vallejo and the other Dangerous Women of the Bibloteca Thuruchapitas. The Bibloteca Thuruchapitas is a library for the children of Cochabamba. We took them part the books we had collected since most of our luggage had books in it. However we gave them close to 5,000 of money they can use to support their programs here. After visiting with the dangerous women we said goodbye for the day. Then we had lunch at the hotel and took a tour of Cochabamba. On the tour we visited El Christo, which is the tallest statue of Jesus Christ in the world. We also visited the house of Simon Patiño. He was a Cochababian who became rich by discovering tin in mines. We then went on the hunt for clothes to get us through Thursday and turned into bed.
