This is the big daddy. He was very friendly and actually came up to us to be petted.
Here are all his ladies eating breakfast before being let out to pasture.
And finally a group picture of all my fellow students. We are in front of the grave of Simon Patino and family. He was once one of the richest people in the world who started off as a poor Bolivian who started mining tin before it was in and eventually built this dairy and a lot of other stuff in Bolivia. Anyways, there we are, except for the guide there in the middle.In more recent news, last Saturday John wanted me to go to the used car market with him to help translate and look for a used car. I don't know why, but John wanted to look at cars. So we left the house around 10am (John likes to take it easy on Saturday mornings) and we arrived at the big yellow-domed soccer field downtown shortly after where the lot is full of used cars and their owners every Saturday. We walked up the hill thinking it was just that lot, but when we got up we saw that the road that went down was full of cars all the way to the horizon. Now John doesn't decide to buy anything very lightly, especially not something this big, and on top of that now we had a couple thousand cars to look at. So seven hours later we pulled up to the house in the new family car. I couldn't believe he actually did it. I couldn't believe we had been out there seven hours either, and my skin now shows that I was not prepared for it.
Anyways, we, or John I guess, now have a 1989 Toyota Hilux Surf, which is known as a 4-Runner in the States. John decided on it because you can apparently take the top off, its big, and has 4WD so we can go on some road trip adventures.
Other than that, I'm going on our first class field trip this week. Six days in a small mountain village about 4000 meters above sea level. I hope I'll be able to breath. Anyways, I'll have more to say about that I guess when I get back next weekend.
