The end of the 3 Musketeers






Hello all you faithful readers!

Yes, sadly, it is true. The end has come. The fabulous trio has been wrenched apart as I, Katie, have returned to Canada. BUT, save your tears. For 2 remain, and will continue the battle faithfully in my absence. It will be hard for them. I'm sure there will be many sleepless nights wrought with tears and anguish. But nevertheless they will be strong. They must be.

And what would an ending be without a list? I started my time with a list, so it seems appropriate to finish it with a list.

Katie's Top 10(okay, 12) Things She Loved About Bolivia (in no particular order):
1. Saltena's. SO GOOD.
2. Minisips. aka: juice bags you can buy on the street.
3. Camping on the Isla del Sol.
4. Biking Death Road with 3 crazy boys. (see pictures above)
5. The FABULOUS jewelery and bags.
6. Hippie pants!
7. The delicious fresh fruit juices.
8. Submarinos! (bolivian version of hot chocolate, watch for an installment near you)
9. Many, many moments of hilarity with Rach, Matteo, and the Vargii family
10. Paying $3 for a 7 hour bus ride...and then paying $3 for one can of Pringles.
11. All the dogs. everywhere. all the time.
12. The random street performances in the crazy traffic. Crosswalk Zebras!

I could go on but, I won't. Suffice to say, I had an amazing time and I would go back in a heartbeat. And if you ever get the opportunity to go down there, do it. Just do it!

This is Katie, signing off.

Sounds like an amazing time was had by all. Loved all your pics-they were very representative.

Thanks for the list Katie - what a great wrap-up.
Loved reading that you would go back in a heartbeat too.

So Rach, how are you coping with the parting of the 3rd musketeer? Hope there are some upcoming events for you to look forward to.
