Hi guys,The stories and pictures are awesome.Today my cleaning lady brought a friend to help her clean,and he was from Bolivia.I was so exited and I showed them all the pictures,they loved them and gave me a running commentary.I had just gotten your e-mail right before they arrived,it was perfect timing.
Hugs to both of you!
