Sunday

Today was pretty nice. I had a full day off in which I planned to do so many things – wash my clothes, clean my room, buy some groceries. I did none of these things (oops!). I woke up late around 8:30 am, which is late around here, especially when your family has been banging around since 5 am. Then I went over to Sarah’s house because she had said that she wanted to find an internet café. Since I had been to Quillacollo and had found a really good one, I told her I’d go with her. So we left our houses around 10:15 and walked. It’s a pretty long walk. We finally made it to the main road around 11 and decided not to go all the way to Quillacollo and just stop at the next internet café we saw – which turned out to be a block away. It was a decent one, not as good as the one I’d been to in Quillacollo, but still quite serviceable. I got a chance to talk to my parents, which was nice. So we hung out there for a couple of hours, listening to the Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham (sp?) soundtrack.
In the afternoon, I went back to Quillacollo just because my house was empty and I had nothing to do. I went with my neighbors. When we got there they had closed off the street for a giant party. For those of you in Sioux City, it looked like Saturday in the Park. They had a band playing and food all over the place. They also had people selling their artwork in the street (which is kind of normal anyways). After walking through the fair, we bought a litre of ice cream to share and sat and ate it on a park bench. They also had those jumping things where they pump air in and kids can jump really high. It was fun to watch. In the evening we tried to watch Troy (or Troya in Spanish). It was funny because it was obviously a pirated version and people in the movie kept getting up and leaving the theatre. I guess the movie wasn’t as popular in Bolivia!
