Leaving Sucre is a hard thing to do . . . . .
I am off today for Cochabamba on a 10hr bus, oh buses my long lost love hate friend. I hope it goes alright. Sucre has treated us more than well. It has been amazing. Mostly we have spent a lot of time doing nothing. Over the last two days we discovered that you can buy any movie you want on the street here for about a one dollar so we have been chilling out watching movies, wandering around, eating far too much. I will actually be a balloon when I get back to Canada! None of you will recognize me. Last night we were walking about and ran into an interesting reenactment of Christ getting put on the cross and dying, complete with Romans, a crown of thorns and everything. I guess that is what they do at Easter here, it was interesting. I have also been drawing a lot. I was really inspired by the market so I drew a few scenes from it. I found it very interesting how differently people react to been drawn than to being photographed. Lots of people don't want to be photographed but when you are just sitting there drawing everyone gets really interested in you. They want to know what you are doing and who you are and to see the picture. They were all really great about it and introduced themselves and at one point I had about 8 kids around me watching what I was doing and asking me questions (many of which I didn't understand because again my Spanish is shit) But I found it really fascinating how different an experience it was. Really cool. Other than that not much else is up. Kaye our traveling companion is leaving us for La Paz but our paths might cross again down the road. She had a kinda rough, funny experience in Sucre. This one guy we met from Cyprus fell in love with her after knowing her for about 12 hrs and wanted to pay for her to travel with him and almost wouldn't accept no as an answer and told her that she had broken his heart (Damn fast romance if you ask me :) ) Miss you and hope you are all doing great.
