just had some delicious chocolate cake from a baker here in rurre and now i'm sitting at a cute little internet cafe. i love it here!! its so homey and comfortable yet so different than anywhere i have ever traveled to. we met the team at the clinic and got a full tour yesterday and it was amazing! we learned all about the bio-sand filters and today we actually got to make 2 together! our Hotel Oriental is fabulous to say the least. the first night i was way to hot and couldnt sleep because i slept in my sleeping bag(i didnt realize how warm and legit it was,thanks daddy) and didnt want to let any part of my face or hands be open to mosquitos but last night i slept great because i came out of my sleeping bag, but instead i woke up with two bites of my hands! oh well haha. the weather here is supposed to be hot but i guess we brought the cold weather down with us from el alto because it has been cloudy and rainy but i still like it. its refreshing to breath the regualr air here at normal altitude! the plane ride over here from el alto was an experience i will never forget. i never thought i would have to guts to go on a little 20 seater plane over the andes but we all did it together :) now we are going back to the clinic to work on the water filters again with kinteen! cant wait to go travel to the first community tommorrow....
love,
