Bolivian wine
... over poor Bolivian roads, I split up my trip to Santa Cruz (where I went earlier for a concert) by making a stop over in Tarija, known for its wines. I arrive in the early morning to a cold Tarija and arrange a visit to two bodegas: to an industrial ...
Creation and Destruction
The center in Narvaez has been transformed! Honestly, when we first saw the buildings, the windowless rooms looked dungeon-like. I realized that Sr. Julianne had a real vision to imagine something better. Now, after two weeks, it is starting to look ...
Catching the Carnival Spirit
I caught the Carnival spirit in Entre Rios, who was not to be outdone by Oruro. Several groups of people("comparcels") presented a succession of skits and dances accompanied by a variety of homemade floats in the street along the central park. The ...
Off and running

The Campesino On Saturday Morning at five am I went with the Help to the Campesino with a truck load of table grapes to sell. The Campesino area is a large market area that sells all types of produce and bits and pieces. We followed some ...
Finally: Entre Rios
When I was a young sister, I really felt drawn to mission work in Bolivia...and that would be in Entre Rios. But that never materialized. My life went in other directions. So actually to be here is like a dream come true for me. Entre Rios lies east of ...

Beware the Ides of February!
Despite the exhausting day in Tarija yesterday, we had to push ourselves a little more. Victor "the Trucker," eager to deliver the iron grate fence to Narvaez, set off with Paul at 8 AM. Suz and I followed with a carpenter, Nihlo, a couple hours ...
Memories of the Guarani

Just like Thanksgiving or New Years
Today's big Bolivian event is in Oruro, a large city north of Potosí: a huge parade that kicks off Carnaval. And it is all day on TV, and just like the Macy's parade or the Rose Parade, the whole country watches. We had it on all day, an extravaganza of ...
