Things We Love About Bolivia

 

 So many of our blogs are finding the humor in Bolivia. We have to laugh to keep our sanity.... Bolivia does have some great things though
Cochabamba Eternally  Spring, Coca-Cola  is  every where,  always offered it by the
members albeit a little warm    Notice the temp  24 Celsius about 76 degrees
 It's winter here now and the dry season. Which is perfect weather 75 to 82 degrees every day and hardly ever any  wind

Gas prices are about $1.70 a gallon

Nice restaurants are between  US $7-  10 per person.
We eat out often. Had the best Chinese food ever here

Bolivia provides universal health care until the age of 5. Births cost nothing and the children are able to be immunized and have a good start. I helped bury a child here many years ago that died due to a lack of health care  that wouldn't happen now days.

Education is very inexpensive through the university level   The only way this country will ever develop is through an educated population.

Every block has at least one tienda. Great for a late night snack.

  Air travel isn't such a pain.You can board from the back or front of the plane. You don't have to throw away your drink before going through security. No need to remove laptops from their case. You can use a copy of your passport.

 The fresh fruits and vegetables here in Cochabamba are incredible
 

 


 

 

 
 They have beautiful Plazas, roundabouts  and Prados,

 They have maintained their culture. And heritage. Cholita's  wear the hats from their
 providence, hats pertaining to their area.  They are proud of  their native music and dance. We are really enjoying our time here.
