We got incredibly bored on our bus ride from Cochabamba, Bolivia to Arequipa, Peru and so we decided to put on a puppet show in Spanish, much to the amusement of everyone in the back of the bus. Hand-knit finger puppets are for sale every where in Bolivia and Peru and they are Tessa´s new addiction (Mom, these are going to be family heirlooms). We already had 15 at this point so we busted them out and tried to convince kids to play with us. We finally recruited these three young-uns. They got a little aggressive with the puppets, however, which was a little disconcerting because they are valued family heirlooms in the making.In the middle of playing, a man got up in front of the bus and started trying to sell miracle pills. On most any bus someone gets up and tries to sell something, but this guy was especially irritating and yelled for well over an hour. At one point Alisa put her hair up in the bottle to amuse the kids and the man stopped talking and wouldn´t start again until Alisa took her hair down. We were playing first! The indignity.

Why don't people comment?!?! I mean come on now - such fascinating stories and nothing written in response!!! Anyway, as said, I've remained a faithful reader thus far....Furhtermore, as the teacher of a Dutch student, I am happy to inform you that "Netherlands" is the formal name for "Holland" although "Holland" is much more widely used. That is the gist of it :) Miss you girls!
