Weekend

So my big plans to travel alone this weekend were foiled by my being a bit of a sicky. I suppose it was for the better because I was able to get to know a few people in my program I didn´t know very well.

On Saturday morning Annie, Miguelina, Dan and I headed to the bus station at 8:30 in order to catch a 9:00 bus to Coroico, a town 3 hours away. Our plan was to climb a mountain and then return to La Paz later in the night. We missed the 9am bus so we got onto another bus which would leave at 9:30. At 9:30 we realized that we were supposed to prepurchase tickets for the bus and ended up getting kicked out. We didnt get on the road until 10:30. We arrived at 2 and started hiking at 3. I, of course, was the queen of the mountain and had to keep stopping to wait for everyone. The hike was very hard, as it was uphill the entire time, but it was well worth it. The scenery was beautiful, I´ll post pictures later.

Today I went to a SPA! I had a 45 minute massage for under 23 dollars including tip. Then I spent 2 hours swimming in the pool, in the steam room, the jacuzzi and the sauna.

All for now!
