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.

Dat’s a Cow

The fresh air was filling my lungs. I took a deep breath to enjoy it. We stood on the porch surveying the fertile hues that seeped into the murky brown lake. My girls reminisced about this and that. Then it got quiet. Out of the blue my three year old boy matter-of-factly announced, “Dat’s a [...]
