Hey there, everyone!
Well, as we're entering the home stretch of my temporary solitude (only 11 more days until Carlos and Jeremy come home!), there's really nothing much to report. My friends from youth group have all gone to a youth camp in Sucre, so my English class was cancelled, as well as my guitar class. In order the quell the rising restlessness that comes from having no fixed occupation, I have instituted a somewhat regular schedule for my days:
1. Wake up, because Brego is scratching on my door to be let outside.
2. Have breakfast (usually cornflakes, except the day when I opened a bag of milk I had just purchased and it came out chunky...I opted for a sandwich instead)
3. Feed Brego breakfast.
4. Have a shower (the earlier the better, just in case they shut off the water).
5. Have a quiet time with the Lord.
6. Practice guitar.
7. Check my email. Yes, I'm close to being addicted.
8. Cook more dog food for Brego.
The rest of my day usually varies, but after an orderly morning, everything feels so purposeful!
If anything exciting happens, I'll be sure to keep you all updated!
Love,
Rachael
PS - Bolivian Tid-bit: Did you know that in Bolivia, the garbage trucks drive around ringing a big bell, like a dinner bell, and when you hear it you have to grab your garbage and run it out to the street? Pretty good exercise, gets you moving fast. You can't put your garbage out until you hear the truck, or else the ubiquitous packs of street dogs will tear them open and do their part to contribute to pollution.

crazy bout the packs of dogs. However; I do wish the garbage trucks over here would do that, ie ring the bell, cause then I might remember to take out the trash!
Glad to hear you haven't gone crazy and killed the dog yet.
Love you
Ruth
Haha!
A Haiku for Brego
Brego you smell bad
But you are loved and cherished
Don't bark like Sauron
There you go, the lack of sugar in my diet has rendered me poetic. Love and miss you. Thanks for posting comments on the blog:)
Peace out Homie
Enjoyed the 'Bolivian Tid-Bit' - you have a knack for sharing things of interest! So on average do the garbage trucks come once/week or more/less often?
Hope it's not been too hard to fill the days since Jan 7th with activities besides your regular schedule - did you read the Haiku out loud to Brego yet?
Hang in there, :) Beth
Hey Beth! The garbage trucks come every few days, as far as I can figure it.
And I´ve been a lot busier lately - I somehow volunteered to help out with the vacation Bible school!
