Bolivia cracks me UP!

This picture was on sale for just $150 US dollars. Yes, they are doing the Titanic "I'm King of the WORLD!" pose.

The walk to Villa

Half way to Villa there is a tiny pueblito called San Jose. We stopped there and amazed the people with our white skin
When we got to Villa we were invited to a pretty special lunch. It is kind of like a pot luck and everything was made even more delicious because of the long walk that preceded it.
There were several different dishes all put together into a smorgasbord. Oh yes, I just used the word smorgasbord!

It's very cold here

Recently I had my first visitor to Corque in almost a year. My friend Ryan, a fellow B-45 volunteer, came out and helped me install some pumps for the wells I have been drilling. We had a good time. Sharing this experience with friends is very gratifying, so come one come all!

If you look really hard, you can see that it was actually SNOWING!!!! in this picture.

I am a fan of snow, so this really made me happy as you can see. The snow is more visible here too.To get to Villa Esperanza we had to hop a ride in the back of this truck. It dropped us off about 15 miles from town, so we walked.
I was so happy about the snow and having a visitor that the cold didn't bother me. I was also well prepared with the alpaca scarf my Aunt Susan made me.

From the Polish Attorney:

Senor Jorge McGuan,

After thorough scrutinization of the imposter, I have come to the conclusion that I look nothing like this Bolivian wrastler Miz. In order to avoid further confusion and possible lawsuit, and not to mention slander and liable of my good name, please find and destroy my alleged doppelganger. Also please post the attached picture of me lounging around the house to your blog, as well as this correspondence, so your readers can also avoid any confusion and bask in the glory of the one...true...and only Miz! I'M MIZ B****!!!

Thank you for your time and prompt response to this matter.

Best,
Miz
