Dear Friends,
Well, it's late and it's been a long day of packing, so I'm going to keep this short and then stumble off to bed. Not that I'll get much sleep - I need to be up by 2:45 a.m. so we can arrive at the airport by 4:30 a.m. My flight leaves at 6:30 - blech! And then approximately 36 hours of travel, including a 12-hour layover in the Lima airport. But you know what, it could be worse!!
It is of course sad to be leaving my family and friends in Canada again. The summer seems to have disappeared overnight, even with my two-week extension! But it will be nice to get back into the routine of life in Bolivia, and I can't wait to see Jeremy and Elisa and all my other friends.
Please pray for my journey, that perhaps I can even find a quiet corner of the Lima airport to actually get some sleep in. And that I will quickly adjust to the altitude once I get to La Paz - I've been informed that the oxygen tank is already in my bedroom waiting for me!
Thanks for all the love you all have shown me this summer,
Rachael
PS - the photos are the incredible evidence of everything I managed to fit into my bags! A traveling miracle!

Rachael,
I miss you(don't cry!)
What a crazy thing that just this morning I was at the airport saying goodbye and giving you hugs that will have to last for a long time. I love you and will be praying for you!

Bye Bye!
Why wasn't I there at the airport? Life is upsetting sometimes.
Miss you already and await wonderful corresponding moments!
Wow, full living room in the first pic... and was that satsuma butter I saw? I miss you darling so much and I am praying that your transition will be swift and easy. I love you!
