In less than a week I will be leaving my family, friends, job, and comfy Seattle home and begin my journey South. I am packing my bag, hoping not to bring too much, but I realized that the temperature in Bolivia during the next few months ranges from 30-65 degrees.... yikes, I think sweaters are in order. So, alas I have been repacking my bags.
I will be receiving the last of my vaccination shots on Wednesday (Hep B) which will bring the total to four (yellow fever, Hep A, Hep B, and Typhoid). Along with my malaria pills and loads of bug spray, I hope that I will be sufficiently protected.
For the first 10 days my dad, his girlfriend and I will be on a boat exploring the amazing islands, made famous by Charles Darwin!
In May, I will fly down to Bolivia where I will be volunteering. I have received news that I will be living on the 6th floor of a building with a woman, her husband, and their maid!
Wish me luck!
