The beauty and uniqueness of Bolivia is astounding. Our first stop after landing in the FRIGID El Alto Airport in La Paz was to visit College's nursing student José Luis Gómez in his hometown of Carura. Three taxi rides later, Jose Luis' extended family welcomed us warmly with food, companionship and a beautiful place to stay. We are standing above the River in 80 degree weather contemplating a swim. Unbelieveable that we had to change our clothes from winter to summer in just a few hours!
