Sucre, no more spanish lessons!

Hola,

We´re free!  No more spanish lessons.  They were good but quite hard.  We thought we´d post a few more photos of Sucre...

The cityscape from the street where we had our lessons, note the air plants on the power/phone lines.

Residencia Bolivia, the hostel we stayed in for the first 5 or so days here (before moving to an apartment... We must get some photos of that too)

The Plazoleta San Francisco, down the road from Residencia Bolivia

 

Some food Erin could actually eat.  On the left is Masaco platano con queso - banana with cheese!  A little odd at first but very tasty. On the right an huminta (silent h) de horno - corn and cheese wrapped in the corn husk and cooked.

All the people in the cafe thought I (Erin) was some weird and crazy gringo when I took that photo.

sue: Are you getting skinny Erin, sounds as if you are doing a starve. The hostel looks very nice, was the apartment very expensive? (11/26/06)

Michele: The hostel does look nice. Hope that means good things for the apartment. Might have to try banana and cheese I think - sounds bizarre. Regan, in some of these photos you are looking more like your Dad when he is wearing the 'grim' look he gets! The contrast between the city you are in now and where you just came from is amazing!
