Dear Everyone,
Here are some pictures of various trips to the zoo, Plaza Murillo (where the Presidential Palace is), and the Island of the sun. It may be hard to tell from these photos, but Matt and Katie have been doing their level best to get tanned. They may have gone a little overboard, but we actually found some aloe vera gel down here, so things are looking up.
Today is our last day in La Paz before we head out adventure-bent again. Tomorrow, Katie and Matt are going on Death Road, the most dangerous road in the world. It's about 6-hours of downhill biking madness on this skinny road that drops into sheer cliffs at the side. Look it up on Wikipedia if you want to be motivated to pray for them!
And where will I be? Well, I'll be taking a leisurely bus down to Coroico (a lovely town in the Yungas, a jungly area) and checking in at our hotel, and waiting for them to show up in the evening, exhausted and covered in mud! We'll be at the hotel for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, returning to La Paz on Monday. Katie leaves on Tuesday, which I'm trying not to think about too much.
Well, that's all for now. Prayers for safety would be appreciated!!
Love to all,
Rachael

Ah - finally I get to be first. I'd fallen behind on reading/watching past blogs. However it was great to get to watch 2 videos (enjoyed the wee mining clip then Katie's interview & Matt's attempt to feed the dog - I too was curious as to whether the dog followed you all the way to the beach). Glad you went for the camping out Rach.
For this next venture I think you're wise taking the bus rather than biking. I've seen Bob Biggs' photos from his & Trevor's bike trip along with Lucas & Carlos down that road - not something I'd be comfortable doing - but at the same time I can understand Katie & Matt wanting to - safe travels to you all.
HAPPY EASTER too,
:) Beth
I'm praying for them, and you too! Sounds like you are all having lot's of fun together, I wish I could be with you! Today I went to be body shop and used their sample for the Satsuma Butter and I thought about you, good memories! Love, Ashley!
