vacation is over....

Hi everyone, hope everybody is doing okay.
Last weekend I had a little vacation, getting to know the city and the culture. I am still a little out of breath when I walk too much up steep hills, but they say that is normal at this height, unfortunately. I have already seen a lot of the city, and it is very beautiful, with a lot of history and culture. Speaking of culture, sunday I went to a Bolivian wrestling match in El Alto with some people from my hostel. Everybody here is crazy about it and that is also what I would call it: crazy! They all dress in strange costumes and it is all a big show (ie setup). There were five matches in total, one of which was between a indigenous midget woman and a huge woman in a velvet jacket and panties... just to give you an idea. I don´t think I will be going again, but it was fun to see the show they put on and especially the enthusiastic reactions from the crowd.
Now my vacation is over, however, as I have started my Spanish classes. I have class from 8.30 till 13 and then I go nd arrange all kinds of things. Yesterday I bought my plane ticket to Cobija for march 1, and I ordered business cards. Today I am going to speak with the environmental expert of the Dutch embassy in La Paz! My days will be pretty busy from now on, but I keep meeting a lot of nice people and it is all a lot of fun! Please e-mail me and let me know how you are doing! I miss all of you very much!
