Santa Cruz de la Sierra

We are in Santa Cruz, eastern Bolivia. this is in the lowland jungle region of the country, most of the way towards Brasil. Things are steamy, hot, and wet (it´s the rainy season) and we are mostly expending our energy just keeping cool and dry. Yesterday we undertook an epic 12 hour bus ride from Cochabamba, in the central highlands, down down down to this region. Tomorrow we head up to our volunteer assignment at Etta Projects in the town of Montero, some 30 miles north of here. Wish us luck, and more soon!!!!
