Bolivia is Baltic

Just to let everyone know we´ve arrived in Bolivia safe and sound! Arriving in La Paz in the wee small hours of Monday morning the Soul Touchers huddled together for body heat. Our first port of call was a clothes shop...to buy warm jackets. Despite reports of political unrest we still managed to buy them for about $10 each so we´re on budget! Later we met the team in Oruro, where we will be working with our WWW partners who minister in the local University, Prison, Christain Union and drug rehabilitation centre. Our stop in Oruro was short but sweet. We enjoyed meeting the team over some pizza then after a short bus journey (only about 9 hours) we arrived in Sucre, where we will be staying for the next four weeks studying Spanish and getting involved with the activities of the CU here. Sucre is beautiful but baltic; it´s a home from home! We´ll be in touch! Erica and Lorna xxx
