Primer Post

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out my blog. I am new to this whole blogging thing, but I think it will be a grand experience. I will try and have atleast weekly updates if not more. It depends on how much time I have with my computer. For those of you who are new to my spurge style of writing, prepare yourself for unnecessary punctuation and con mucho spanglish. When reading, if my tone of voice changes, or my writing style, then bare with me, the voice in my head simply changed.

First Bolivian Experience:
AS I was requesting gate information on my flight from miami a La Paz, a NEw Zealand guy named marty snagged me as a fellow english speaker headed to the same place. WE immediately proceeded to the Jose Cuervo Taquiria for our last American Beers. We walked around for another place but they won't beopen until I am back in Miami in seven meses. I wanted a greasy burger and Manny's (had it the night before!) but they only had Sam Adams Boston Lager. Not my first choice, but goddamnit it's american! Two beers and a chicken enchilada deep (found out later that they fed us on our red-eye flight) we headed back to the gate in time for Boarding. It was here that Marty and I parted ways because I was pulled aside, for a visa check. I was missing the appropriate paper work. Paperwork that everyone who has ever travelled to bolivia declined I needed, but paperwork that american airlines insisted I have. So I write this first update in...La Paz. Gotcha, they pulled some strings, and I thought I would never say this, but a man on a Segway came to my rescue. I was the last person on the plane. Two beers, a chicken Enchilada, and now an inflight meal, complete with full set of plastic utensils, I passed out on the plane.
I woke up this morning to the sunrise over the mt. peaks surrounding La Paz. If anyone has seen the sunrise/sunset over the enchantments, and more particular Mt. Stuart they might have an inkling of the sites that I witnessed this morning. No customs/border issues, turns out I didn't need the visa application, just the 135 big ones. AS I write these last few words, I am slowly being surrounded by large groups of youth travelling I can only imagine to santa cruz. I am going to sign off and move, porque no entiendo la conversacion y el espacio es muy differente para ellos...ciap
