We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas. Ours was simple, just like we wanted. Christmas Eve we had a nice simple dinner that we made, went to mass, then skyped our families. All Christmas morning was spent skyping our families. It was very difficult not being there but it was so nice being able to talk and see them. For lunch we were able to treat ourselves to a very nice Argentine meal courtesy of Dr. and Mrs. Tomeny. Both of these days were interesting trying to incorporate both our families traditions.
The next day we were very fortunate to see Andrea's cousin who is a cloistered Carmelite nun. We also booked out ticket to Villazon, Bolivia. We spent all today getting everything we needed for a Bolivian Visa and packing.
We are a bit worried about altitude sickness so please keep us in your prayers! The next few days are going to be crazy. We leave tomorrow morning (28th) at 11:30am. The bus is 26hrs so we arrive in Villazon the next day (29th) at 1:30pm. After border crossing we hope to get on the 3:30pm overnight train to Oruro, where the altitude is close to 13,000 ft! We arrive there at 7am on the 30th. Then another 8 or so hour long bus to Potosi, then four more hours to Sucre! The roads are rough, high, and at night it gets very cold! If everything goes according to plan we should arrive at Sucre around 8pm on the 30th! That means 3 days without a shower, probably not much sleep, and the risk of altitude sickness so please we're really needing your prayers!
