“A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plains, safeguards, policies, and coercions are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.”
Travels with Charley
I have been here a week and as the time passes I see all the more, that this trip is going to be very different from my last. I actually have a place that I can go to get away from people. This is such a nice relief, being that La Paz is a city of a million people and it seems that in every park, plaza, restaurant and even in the place that I call home (for the moment) seems to be full of people. I am beginning to see that I must approach not just my time here but life as some kind of a teaching tool. Here in Bolivia I am learning that I don’t understand people. I might to some degree understand Americans, but Bolivians? I don’t understand why so many people a marching. I don’t understand people in the church here nor do I understand all too much of this language. For this reason, I see the importance of becoming a student.
So let us learn.

coooolby.
stay out of trouble down there.
Want to recommend some books if you have the time?
I want to read on the flight and you are well read, so let me know what I should pick up.
Hope you are having a great time.
Stephen,
Man, its good to hear from you. How are things at the race track and how is the family?
Teresa,
How are things at the Ranch? I am looking forward to getting that book and I have a post card for you when things settle down, I will send it to you.
Joseph,
You should read anything about Che Guevara being that he is from Argentina. I also have bad news. There is no way that I can get down to see you before I leave. I am sorry man. But, the dates are not going to work out.
good bye to all,
Colby
