one thing i forgot to say in the last post was that i played some bolivian futbol(soccer) which was pretty fun, it was pretty dusty though. anyway, yesterday (saturday) we went to the jungle. we were pretty crouded, like sardines in the vehicle. the jungle was pretty nice it is very different from where i am right now, and very different from the mountains. when we got to the jungle we stopped at a restaurant where i ordered something called a Jochi (pronounced Hochie) it was pretty good, they told me after it is the world´s largest rodent. anyway, in the jungle it is very muggy and you feel sticky. it had rained before we got there so the trails we hikes on and the roads were somewhat muddy. we went down this one trail (they charged me 15 bolivianos to take my camera) and saw some mokeys. one of the guys had a package of crackers and a monkey jumped on him and took the crackers and started eating them on the guys shoulder. when he tried to stop the monkey, the monkey smacked him in the head it was pretty funny. after we went down the trail a little further we found a lot of monkeys and they climbed all over you, trying to find food or whatever. i was chewing gum and a monkeys reached into my mouth and tried to steal it, it didnt taste good. then after that he climbed down into my sweater and came out the bottom. the monkeys would reach right into your pockets looking for things. anyway, after we hiked for a bit Tom (the missionary who took us) started running so me and a couple other guys tried to keep up with him, it was difficult to run because it was so muddy. there was also these big parott birds in a cage. the cage was covered with a tarp but up and the top it wasn´t and there was a ladder there so i moved the ladder over to where i could get a good picture of a yellow bird. then after i climbed up and was trying to get a picture lined up a guy said, look to your right. there was a big red bird there that could have taken like my fingers off in one chomp, scared me. anyway, i got some pictures hopefully they turn out okay, i finished 2 rolls today i might go somewhere and get them developed soon. after the trail we went to the church and they had a service where they greeted us. we did a drama that went actually quite well. then someone explained it. someone who knows spanish quite well gave their testemony. we sang them some english songs, and tried to sing some songs in spanish for them. after that we played some games and went to bed. today we woke up and walked down to a market that didnt seem too special. after that we went on another hike and some some caves and different trees and stuff. then we went and bought some snacks at a market place. i bought some bread which were out in the open and had lots of flies eating off of it. i also ate some cheese, which hasn´t done too much to me yet but who knows. after we ate we went down to this river where a girl from the team was baptised. Casiano (a spanish pastor who the girl is living with) baptised her. The river was called the holy spirit river, so that was pretty neat. umm, then we came back to cochabamba and had some pizza. tomorrow the group isnt doing anything so i think after my spanish class i might go to an orphanage here if i can find it. that´s it.
