El Pueblo Boliviano

Cochabamba declared a holiday the day after we arrived. Are these people great or what! Okay, it was a national holiday that had nothing to do with us. Still the people really are some of the nicest I've met. We were searching yesterday for the church where my parents got married, and we couldn't find it. A lady on the street knew where the church was, so she helped us get a taxi and gave the driver directions. About 20 of the reunion group went to the Savia Andina concert yesterday. They are a Bolivian group that plays Andean music and instruments. They welcomed all the extranjeros (foreigners). While they have done shows around the world, I don't think they've seen so many foreigners at a concert in their home country! There aren't a lot of tourists in Bolivia, and especially in Cochabamba, and I have no idea why. The people, the music, the food and drink, the sights--they are all spectacular.
