Our plane
landed in La Paz, Bolivia night to Saturday. A small and nice man from Alalay
picked us up and took us to the Mission Alliance’s house in the city. The
project were actually supposed to find a host family for us, but the last day
in Lima they told us that they unfortunately hadn’t found one yet. We were
taken to our room, and made an agreement that we were to be picked up at 11.00,
approximately 7(!) hours after arrival. (And by the way: 11 o’clock in Bolivia
apparently means 12.20, this had to be our first meeting with the Latin-American
‘’mañana, mañana-culture’’ in Bolivia). When we finally were on our way, a bit reduced
due to the height and lack of sleep, we went to a fund raising for Alalay. The
event was apparently taking place on a very hidden location, because no one,
neither taxi drivers nor other locals had a clue of where it was. We found it
eventually, and everything was in big contrast to how I had imagined how the
project worked. The location and the foods (especially the treats) was really
fancy and expensive cars were lined up outside. We could mingle and help our
selves with all kinds of foods and desserts. Already the first day in La Paz we
sat the standard for our diet..
Tired after cruising the streets of La Paz, we were glad to get the message that Sunday was for adapting to the height and relaxation, because already on Monday, we were going to visit almost all the different parts of the project. What they are I will explain in another post.

Siste stopp: La Paz
Noe over middels sliten etter å farte rundt i La Paz sine gater var vi veldig glade over å få nyheten om at søndag var satt av til akklimatisering og avslapping, for allerede på mandag skulle vi besøke nesten alle delene av prosjektet. De forskjellige stegene prosjektet består vil jeg beskrive nærmere i en senere post.
