Plans...

Six days until Dad and Brittany come here, to Santa Cruz.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been racking my brain somewhat frantically wondering what the heck I'll do with them. Santa Cruz is fairly easy: the quinta, 7 calles, nails, school. Beyond the city gets harder. There's so much to do, and only two weeks to do it in. Some ideas:
*Hiking from the Altiplano to Las Yungas (jungle, baby!!)
*Hanging out on la Isla del Sol, and maybe swinging over to la Isla de la Luna
*Shooooooooopping in La Paz
*Biking down the Most Dangerous Road on Earth
*Horseback riding to the waterfalls around Sucre
*Eating an early dinner in that delicious cafe by the Recoleta at sunset(again, Sucre)
*Doing cartwheels and having insane photoshoots in the Salar de Uyuni
*Checking out the mines in Potosí
*Following the trail of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (waaaay out of the way, but we could call it geneology)
*Oruro for some possible living (talk to my dad about this one. The guide books doesn't give much information on that)


...and the list goes on.

The problem is....how can one fit all of this into two weeks and A. Not be Superman, B. Not be Santa Claus, or C. Not be insane? Which do we choose? Thankfully, while the buses themselves aren't always reliable, the Bolivian bus system is. We have the will, they have the way.

But oooohhhh man, so much to do!!!!!!!!! I didn't even put some of the things I want down....Sorata sounds gorgeous. Canoeing in the Amazon is rather enticing. But how will I fit it all together???? Dad always says, ''It's a puzzle. Figure it out.'' Well, he says that about me loading the dishwasher (which I hate.) Truth be told, Eri ain't so good at puzzles!

Well, enough freaking out for now. I hope this satisfies your desire for a blog, Mom. Maybe I'll put another one up later. Maybe I will right now...Hmmmm....
