An Afternoon of Sightseeing

After a 3D movie at the theater I took the kids to the bridge. This is a relatively new attraction here in Cochabamba. It connects the Cine Center with a lovely section of town called the Recoleta which are separated by a river and a highway. The Recoleta has bunches of good restaurants, ice-cream and [...]

Tuesday Tip #27 – Guinea Pig Heritage

As a child I explored my nurturing side through the acquisition of a few doomed pets. One conclusion was reached after a few furry friends came and went in my life: I am not an animal person. I respect those who love the little beasts who share this planet. I believe nature and all it’s [...]

Gabrielle the Giver

It is fascinating to me to see my kids’ personalities springing up. Each one of them is so distinct and individual.

Tuesday Tip #18 – Patience Makes Perfect

The common prayer of the impatient person is, “God, give me patience. Now!” Even the most sincere pleas for patience are dangerous prayers. Why are they dangerous? Because God is not a fat little fairy godmother who floats around singing bipity-bopity-boo banging you on the head with magic sparkly dust turning you into what you [...]
