Weekend Update

Well, folks, this week hasn´t been that interesting so don´t get your hopes up about this post. One possible point of interest, though, is our group mug shot...I mean picture, which you can see off to the left. Seven of that group (including myself) are from Mundelein Seminary, and the rest come from all over the US and for various reasons. What I can say, though, is that they are a great bunch of people, and I have had a lot of fun down here with them.

Tomorrow a few of us are going to see one more Bolivian landmark, Cristo de la Concordia, which is a gigantic statue of Jesus which overlooks the city. You can see a picture here. It make look familiar to you because of the similar statue in Brazil, but the Cochabambinos will assure you that their statue is just a little bit bigger.

Lastly, I saw Harry Potter #5 in ENGLISH on Wednesday night. I was obviously happy to see it, but I was little disappointed with this movie in comparison to the others. Oh well, I just hope Book #7 is at my house when I get back. I´m itchin to see the conclusion to this saga.

Other than those few points, everything is just fine down here. I feel more confident with Spanish every day, and even though this is a great city, I can´t wait to get back. And don´t think I won´t be continuing my tradition of stopping at Taco Bell on the way home from the airport becasue it´s gunna happen. Just to make you jealous, here´s another sunset....

Tom ~ Taco Bell is in dire need of your support. Since you've left the US, their weekly revenue has decreased 75%, and that poor little chihuahua has been lying in cold sweats on his tiny doggie pillow muttering, "yo quiero Byyyrne." The D grade meat industry is counting on YOU!
