i´m here!!!

after about 28 hours i arrived in cochabamba! woo hoo. erik was right there waiting so it was really nice to see a familiar face. had a 6 hr layover in mexico city and they didn´t have me booked on a next flight. freaked out but didn´t cry!!! ended up getting on, by standby, and then was in lima, peru for 6 hrs. from there i went to santa cruz, bolivia, to la paz , bolivia to cochabamba. the house i´m staying in is like 4 stories, filled with people from all over the world..doctors to business students. on the top floor there´s a terrace with a direct view of jesus de cristo...so beautiful. it´s bigger than the one in rio. i can´t wait to go up there. my room is the only one on the first floor. i had no problem passing out last night after traveling for so long but i might have issues going to sleep other nights, as some of the people really seem to like partying ..last night had shepherd´s pie for dinner that a girl from germany cooked. it was good, minus the veggies!! i guess we all sign up and make dinner for everyone so that will be interesting. tonight they were saying one of my housemates is cooking fish head soup. i might be in trouble. plan on uploading some pictures soon. most everyone has their laptops with them so it´s not as easy for me to get on internet. luckily, the office and another house are right down the street, like 4 houses down. i´m about to get a tour of the city by hippie gary.
