BACK! Last post from Cochabamba
beat Fabio and long-distance, the athlete! Here we are in Italy (only 5 because we let the three and did not know anything ...)! I'm tired, tired, on the verge of exasperation, I could not stand it any more and I locked in a silence prior (ie before devouring some poor innocent fellow traveler!).
We are mattna of 10, as the clock back to Cochabamba ... SC they will be celebrating our departure (we have a little 'stressed, but with affection!) and we parted as throw balls in a pinball all'areoporto Malpensa.
But apart from the physical fatigue and a few posthumous already missed all of Bolivia ... Well it's not all! Now start
photos, stories, souvenirs, gifts and the markets. None of us knew how to better take advantage of the cancha. Today Fabio and Thomas were presented to MPX in uniform: striped cotton pants, shirt and hat with toe away from the lamp shade!
pitufos sobrevividos from you soon! Meg

How Long Does It Take For Water Retention To Go
Yes, we are at the end ...
So what can we say?
not say anything well, not tears and tearful, I chronicle of events experienced in the last two days have seen the video as
Friday we went to the entrance of the school dell'urcupiña dance for the party (and not urKupiña as I wrote earlier), the experience was overwhelming because the music was beautiful and the dancers (as you may have seen) bursting with energy from everywhere ... the thing that you do not know still is that the undersigned has slipped AMONG the parade as a photographer and was hit a couple of times: a skirt of an immense sciura octogenarian and the other by a fifteen-scalmanatissimo dancing dress bull ... Fortunately, all without consequences for both but only few apologies and shove each other (yes, they had taken me seriously ...)
Saturday morning shopping spree (more or less) and stroll downtown while the afternoon was gone caritas from Italy to design the stage to be placed along the route of the walk.
at 23.30 you leave home for the walk (a kind of procession \\ walk \\ migration) leading from Cochabamba to Quillaquollo [chiiacoiio] over a distance of 14km and a half plus 4 optional end known as the "ordeal" and described as -the hardest-
Along the way you see everything: mothers pushing prams, small families of three or four generations that accrue to chat, groups truzzetti (who infest the air here), girls laughing, curious about foreigners, all cholate tasks and campesinos held in great holiday, a bit 'a picture of this wonderful country that can give a thousand and two facets but conflicts and come together in these ancient rites and then reconverted to Christianity [daisy leave the task to explain what the rite dell'urcupi
na] one step after another and a coca leaf after another after the arrival perfectly straight 14 km occurred at 05:10 this morning in downtown Quillacollo.
At that point his head to Mark's imperious, as befits a manager of that caliber, who asks if the feeling of completing the work coming to Calvary, but feared the surprise Luca withdraws along with Julia and Clare (Margaret had given lump sum kilometers per second) and I am alone to do by Sancho (without) our Panza to Don Quixote's going to attack the dreaded "ordeal" that reveals how aggressive the windmills: it is a straight 4 km in slight rise that ends with the mountain on which lies the shrine dell'urcupiña. to make bold reach the goal at 06.30 just in time to see a show goosebumps: the top of the hill is covered with small tents where you glimpsed the light of a candle, the shapes of the indigenous rituals that reproduce their ancestral to the west and the bright full moon sets behind the Andes just in time to allow the sky to the east is a solid pink color that goes slowly to die out one by one.
after this spectacle of nature surrounded by a multitude of colorful tents, the Aymara, Quechua and so on and so forth, we decide it's time to go back to Cocha cold and sleeping more than ever ... shame on arrival at 7.40 let me sleep past and in fact here I am still confident, standing up from six in the morning hours ... I usually sleep well at night at 1:30 at a concert ...
for the moment is everything.
Greetings readers, I'll pack your bags for the return.

Who's Stronger Bloods Crips Or Norteños
WAITING FOR GODOT
Chiara I'm waiting for last minute shopping and I thought well to make a jump in an internet point to greet you! Unfortunately, today came the last day of work centers and healthy children was difficult, as the cook healthy Condebamba, nurse Atendimento (the centers where I worked) ... but now the fiesta begin!!
Tomorrow, allowing bloqueos finally Chapare! In the forest, eating fish such as Che Guevara. And then begins the fiesta de la Virgen de Urkupiña, the equivalent of our August ... 14 begins with the folkloric shows and then the other 15 with parades and processions and the night walk to the shrine of Quillacollo, they say that there is so many people that it takes 4 hours (from one night to 5 am) 4-5 km to do! Finally, the 16 put at Calvary (Where I think none of us ... because we will arrive to pack ...). Tonight we are meeting on the syncretism of this party ... These American Christians in particular fantasy mix rites, rituals, practices and beliefs ...
Not to mention that 15 is my birthday and the celebrations are already at the level dell'Urkupiña: American megatorta cream (with a drawing of the cartoon network) and coca liqueur!
the problem is probably that between the results of the referendum and the Urku do not know if we can get an internet point again ... Saturday afternoon, probably in Brazil and certainly we feel!
Kisses to everyone! For those who asked me
: coca know green tea!! and you have to chew a lot to really feel the effects!

Referendum
and here we are ... after a long wait ... interrupted only by telephone on Wednesday '.
let's talk about the last days ... no, i do some vediamod 'the news: Sunday
there' was a referendum to revoke the presidential mandate and the prefects.
the situation at the moment and 'this:
evo wins by a wide margin of advantage throughout Bolivia (here the polls speak 65 to 75%), therefore, is confirmed president (and with it also the vice-presidency is confirmed), while the situation of the prefects reserve some surprises.
pole position in its where our Cochabamba Manfred Reyes Villa, who has waged a campaign on Friday and declared himself ready to abandon the position pending a climb to presidenz, lost by a resounding 70% "no," This is a
result that I never imagined as written in the City 'are in balance "manfred cabron" and "Manfred toda la vida", apparently supporters of the president have not indulged in much choreography electoral keeping hidden for voting.
the problem 'that the "good" (I've personally seen at military parades and I do not at all good ... I would have had to meet him at dusk terror) said Manfred (Berlusconi-style) there had been fraud in size embarrassing (the 35/40% of the cards) and therefore does not intend to relinquish power that the people gave him.
the answer came almost immediately from supporters who have said that Evo will come down from the mountains and driven from the city of force if he is showing signs of slowing down. The ultimatum is scheduled for Wednesday but the situation could deteriorate as early as tomorrow.
this news we have with Father Eugene of Caritas Italy who is member of the crisis in Cochabamba.
The other prefects are currently accepted without question the election results and no one spoke of fraud. SantaCruz
What was said prepared to leave.
more news soon.
greetings from Coch.
ps team bergamo EVO met in person ... that desire ...

DESCANSO
now finally rest! After days of tour de force I have a moment to tell seriously what we did.
So: after the mythical journey of 65 hours we made a Cocha weekend tourist, do not recommend the city sight-seeing, is an infamous bullshit, a better ride in the cancha (the largest market in South America guys !!!). Then view House Patiño, travel and much else of the Christ Concordia (such as Lisbon and Rio, but what is the biggest Cocha ...). I do not know it's up to you, I preferred a full listing of Chol (= indigenous women) and a ride to the Prado and holidays. Here, in fact celebrate every day, always loud music (it is hard to sleep at night) and rides and stalls everywhere! Then get to work, as I said. The disabled children are very strong, although it is not really my lavra every day better and I'm fond of most. Above all, thanks to the legendary nurse Oriet, which has a hair on my stomach and so really knows how to love these kids!
The group occasionally has a crisis for divergence of interests, but in general if the travel well. In any case, all participated in the COA, that the Quechua ritual to Pachamama (About this I have taken a cold and misery I lost coa, while Fabio, Chiara, and the two Civil Service SC = drinking chicha in a community center, hunting). Today
special day! Despite my resfriado and fever, and of course I'm going to cancha buy traditional clothes from Chol, finishing in the bottom of the market where few people speak English and dried llama fetuses are hanging a bit 'everywhere (again for COA), meat Fantastic, yucca, fruit, shoes ... well everything! Arrival at the bottom and find a stall with a very kind lady that I adapted to measure a blouse (the ones used here all embroidered) and a skirt, here called "poyera", typical of indigenous women, I do get to wear them and turn well dressed for the cancha, everyone tells me "Linda Chola Cholita Chaca." I was afraid to offend you, but they laugh, they make me happy and m are all the compliments, although they are pale as death and I do not have beautiful braids adorned What links here!
After meeting with the Landless Movement, people with controcoglioni, helped by Caritas to recover the land for 500 years and is stolen by a century, various dictators have given to friends and family of origin is not certain American ... Don Moises, América, Doña asunto, Alberto Leon and Don Segundino told us what it means not having to grow and not be able to communicate them to fight against a very unfair system. Evo Morales for them is really a godsend ... tomorrow we will go with them in a village Andes, Tres Cruces, and I will tell all about their culture and Quechua whipala.
I must go now that I closed the other girls out of the room! Kisses from
Cbba!

Help For Bad Cervial Mucous
Accommodation
Well, this is certainly a curiosity that many have (given the premise of the first post) but I have not yet explained
(and with all due respect, a little ' sbiellato ... and I hope I do not no complaint, it is said in sympathy) Bolivian bishop of the city.
The apartments are at 3:04 flat in a 5-storey building of which the latter occupied by an Italian-Bolivian family and last used as a terrace where a wire network allows us to hang our laundry day ... no, not by hand ... there is also a washing machine that prevents a lot of effort and allows us (especially people like me would not know where to begin to wash the clothes) to have a decent clean clothes ... ah, I forgot ... there is also an iron! (But I have not used, so do not go here for the very thin)
back to the apartments: 3 bedrooms, one of which is also outfitted with a sink (in the women's floor, or 4, all staff have a sink), three sinks, baths and showers, not bad words.
there is also a common kitchen, but do not use it as well as looking after the sisters constantly (and patience), the senior prelate prepare us for breakfast and dinner, no lunch because it is done in the work centers except Luca (irene and will recover soon from the malaise that has struck) that receives the good Milanese schisceta prepared, yes, from hermanas ...
latest news:
addition to the aforementioned daisy irene also was hit by a mild illness but passengers should not be anything serious (although that has not seen her this morning and the last information available to me to go back 9 hours ago)
goes well, it's all for today, on your left in cocha (here called everywhere and write CBBA)
Best regards.
uhm ... I know it's not written in Italian but it's completely right ... well I quickly and the keyboard does not go ...
