Eleven months in Bolivia: “Color me Wonderful!”

In Bolivia there’s always an excuse to bring out colors – by nature, in an incomparable way, or through handmade artwork. Our family of 5 has been at post for exactly 11 months now – enjoying life, watching our kids grow surrounded by new friends, improving their Spanish communication skils, and delighting ourselves with the inherent beauty this country has to offer.
Here’s a small sample of past 11 months in-country:

    1. Thank you very much, Ruthincolorado! Always trying to make the best out of time at ‘post’… moving and living in different countries, learning different cultures, is only difficult if one does not try to see the beauty behind it! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts! Much appreciated. 😮
