Hi, It has been really long since I wrote an entry, so my kids decided it is my turn this time to tell the story of our adventures in Bolivia after returning from Rurenabaque (Pamapas and Amish). And if the kids say I should be doing somethin, I better do it... After returning to La Paz from Rurenabaque, Tal decided he has to make some strength and courage test - he went biking on the 'Death Road'. It is a gravel road that stretches over ~60 km with many curves. It is very narrow and on one side there is the [View Full Entry]

As I promised in my last entry, I will dedicate this entry to eating in Peru. In general, we were positively surprised from the food - there is a great variety, and the food is generally tasty and well seasoned. The king of the kitchen and the most common is the chicken.

The queen of the local kitchen is the potato - and there are tens types of potatoes in the market - red, white, small, big and many more kinds that I cannot describe. Therefore, chips or french [View Full Entry]
