Our Bolivian Home

---

As Thomas puts it, this is our Bolivian home.
Our flight down almost went well. At about 5:30am we circled over the airport in La Paz but were not able to land. The pilot announced that the generator had burned out and he was using a back up one. It made enough power to land but not to take off again and the techs in La Paz didn't have a replacement one. So we had to skip our stop in La Paz and go directly to Santa Cruz were there was a replacement. We had to go through Immingration and Customs there. I didn't have the help there that I was expecting to have in La Paz but we managed in the end and were brought back to La Paz by 12:30pm. The kids were really good through it all!
Since we arrived on Thursday, we have been mostly spending time visiting family.
We have taken a few little trips to the market where everyone that is close to Thomas likes to pat his head and call him "chokito" (little blond one). He got so tired of it, he keeps on putting his hood up.
I managed to finish unpacking and also ended up arranging to have Thomas' birthday pary at Burger King. It was not my first choice but the only one that worked for our schedule. It will be this Sunday, so I will post pictures next time..

Good bye for now..
