A handful of Bolivianos, butterflies in my stomach, about 40 lbs worth of University of Wyoming gifts for the Bolivians, the Yellow Fever pumping through my vains, $135 in cash to pay visa officals to let us in the country and a list about a mile long of questions I am supposed to ask while I'm there. I'm all set! I leave from Denver Friday morning and after an 8 hour delay at Miami International (mission homecoming, sweet), we are off to La Paz. Here's our tenative itinerary.
