Bolivia

To be honest we had the worst luck with transport. On the way to Bolivia someone managed to read the ticket times wrong and we missed the bus! great wee start! thankfully someone in the Church chased the bus to the next station and we got there and we found out that the bus wasn´t going there. So we headed to Pichinal and waited for 5 hrs for a bus to pick us up! After our fun arrival we arrived in Santa Cruz and the streets were flooded! We went to Cec Bolivia, a Christian camp focused all on mission! We were staying 6 hours of Santa Cruz in Monte Blanco and the journey there was a laugh! I think I prayed all the way! A dirt track in the mountains and at one point the bus ended up slided down a mud ditch as it swerved the on coming bus. We arrived and the center was beautiful, in the middle of the mountains. The time table for the week was packed! Really reminded me of Summer Madness, although you had to do everything and the food was amazing! The speakers were so interesting. I got to go to seminars on loads of different things from Islam, Hindusiam to finding your perfect partner. The worship in the evening was amazing and the different people we met were lovely. It was so nice, Gisel from our Church came with us so we had a blast with her. Wake up call was at 6.45am for gym. One morning I chased the man with the whistle... yeah Megan did jump out of her and chase him! Good times! One day we had extreme sports and it was fantastic! Everyone playing with a human sized ball, then in donuts and then human tug-a-war. After our day of killing eachother in sport we had a day of practical as in the different seminars they had prepared stuff for the local town! All 175 of us jumped in the truck which carries cattle and it was a journey I will never forget! Teaching the Argentines Irish phrases while trying to hang on for dear life! We litter picked and other groups did dramas, mimes and dances. It was the highlight of my week! In the square I taught a bunch of the boys how to Irish Dance which Naomi managed to catch on camera for all of you amusement! Really a fantastic week. I´m sure your beginning to get the idea we had bad luck with transport. Well on the way home, we had to wait at the border of Bolivia/Argentina for 8 hours, just waiting. On a 20 hour journey it makes it seem like a life time! All in all, we had a brilliant time, met loads of class people and possibly came home a little bit blumper.
