I got up at 4.30am and was given my packed lunch by Marina who incredibly got up at that time just to make me fresh rolls..(aww..what a great mummy!) My real mum would never do that for me..(eh mum?) Today is Dia Del Madre in Bolivia funnily enough when children show gratitude for the suffering their mothers have experienced bringing them up. This isn't the tame Mothers Day we have in Europe. No, here they have a huge party with all the relatives..and the mothers...

I got up early at 7ish, had my brekkie and then walked to school passing the same cheery bloke sweeping the street who greets me with a "Buenos Dias" every morning. I arrived at the school and had my class with a great teacher called Ludmila. We got on really well and discussed lots of things.

I met a few other people from Switzerland. I had my lesson with Carmen and we had irregular verb ...

I got up later today and the shower was hot thankfully! I tried to shave but it's difficult when from the sink taps it's only cold water. I revised my Spanish after my breakfast (same, rolls and tea). I had lunch with Jose and Marina; sardine and rice. I phoned Quantas and changed my flight to 12th July.
