Today has been a long, exhausting, and beautiful day. Victor, our young and knowledgeable driver, picked us up from the El Alto airport at five o'clock this morning. El Alto is the highest airport in the world. So, as you might imagine, we all experienced some pretty intense altitude sickness. Just walking across the room to gather our bags was difficult.
We stopped for eggs and toast around seven this morning and then continued on our way to Cochabamba, stopping only briefly for restroom breaks and to see La Cumbre, the highest peak along the road.
Our hosts here in Cochabamba are friendly and welcoming. Their guest house has all of the essentials and an absolutely amazing view of the city and surrounding mountains.
Bright and early tomorrow morning, we embark on our orphanage construction adventure. Hasta luego!
