I'm so high... Been in Bolivia for a week now and it's been absolutely awesome!!!!!! I eventually got used to the life in high altitude, but the first few days I was having problems breathing and minor headaches.. but the coca leaves helped:)We've been staying at "hostels" 4300m high and the highest place we drove to was at 5060m, where we went to see geysirs. Bolivia has exceeded all my expectations and I would love to have more time to explore this...

Bolivia here we come!

The elections were held last sunday and because of that everywhere was closed on saturday night and so we decided to ...

I love BA!! I've been here almost a month now, time flies.. I'm always pretty busy in Finland, but I seem to be running from place to place here as well. Normally I get up before ten, have breakfast while watching some re-runs of Dawsons Creek:) and then head to work. From work I go straight to my Spanish classes that last a few hours and then I head home. The walk isn't that long, but it always takes me ages because I keep stopping on the way, I might pop in a ...
