The exciting activity for our group in the past couple of days was yet another birthday celebration (it seems as though every day the girls report more birthday parties they attended with their families the night before), but this time we celebrated our own Hannah´s birthday in true Bolivian style. Yuneth, the fearless leader of the Samuelito Guardaria (daycare) who exudes endless energy filled us in on the tradition and helped us suprise Hannah at midnight last night. Hannah´s birthday is today and we got to wake her up with a beautiful serenade. Those of us from the states stumbled over the complicated Spanish while our Bolivian friends played guitars and sang. After we finally got her and Leah out of bed we ate more delcious Dulce de Leche torte and sang and danced for awhile before calling it a night! Fun times! We hope Hannah will remember her 16th Cumpleaños :)
It´s difficult to decide what pictures to include but here are a few more I´ve uploaded.

mmmmmm, more chicken, rice, yucca and POP. Laura and Sara delight in the 3rd meal of this sort in one day on Saturday

I didn´t realize I uploaded this picture, but since it´s here, this was the view out of the window when we flew from La Paz to Santa Cruz
