Day 10: Sep 15

-Breakfast and morning Spanish classes
-Laundry
-Lunch: potato puff thing filled with ground beef and stuff. It was really good; all the food is really good!
-The group packed into a van to go meet with a volunteer organization in downtown Cochabamba. The meeting was interesting; the people showed us a video and talked about Bolivia today. A lot of it was about the youth of Bolivia and how they conflict with older generations. It is interesting because Bolivia is such a changing country and there is such a difference in generations and how they view things.
-Becky and I got home and started cooking Stir Fry for the family! It was so fun actually cooking a meal. I think it was the first time I cooked a legit meal for 8 people. I think we did a good job for the first time! The cake we made looked amazing! It was a chocolate bunt cake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles. The Stir Fry was good too we just made a TON of it. We way overestimated the proportions. Anyway, I don’t know if the family liked it or not. They ate it obviously but I don’t know whether it was to be nice or because they actually liked it. I will never know! They were really nice about it and kept saying it was delicious; that made me feel good! Haha. What they really liked was the cake. I have to admit, it was a really pretty cake. I don’t think I’ve made such a good one. There was a lot of Stir Fry leftover though because we made way too much. We just saved it for leftovers.
-After dinner we had a family photo shoot. We took a bunch of pictures with each other that was fun. All the pictures are so cute! Nelson also took a video of Becky and me saying how much we liked Cochabamba and staying with the family.
-Becky, Nelson, Charo, Chris, Crister and I all went to the park to watch some futbol. Eventually, Chris, Crister and I got to play which was really fun. I love playing in that park under the lights! There is nothing I love more. Crister and I played in a really long game. We were only supposed to play to 8 but it was win by 2 so it took forever to finish. I ended up losing but that’s ok. I lost to Diego who was on my team before.
-I didn’t get into bed until like 12:30. I had so much fun though so it was ok!!
