Leaving this town

Unfortunately, our time with the nuns has come to an end. Tomorrow morning we start travelling again. The nuns are going to Sucre (one of them needs to go to the dentist about her wisdom teeth), so we are catching a ride with them. We´ll have about two or three days there, before heading on to La Paz (blockades and protestors willing). And then into northern Chile for a week or so, and finally to Lima, Peru, where we meet up with Dorthe´s parents on July 2nd.

It has to be said though, that we are both sad to be leaving this town. Potosi is a great little place, and after a month here, we are starting to feel very much like locals - our local shopowners and surrounding restaurants all know "the gringos", and we run into these people on the street - we are starting to feel very much like locals. And then of course, saying goodbye to all the oldies in the nun´s house was hard - after working with them for so long, and getting to know ALL their eccentricities, leaving them behind for the last time is a sad thing. We will miss Potosi.
