All's well here in the southern hemisphere, where 2008 has been off to a great start! We rang in the new year with a family toast at midnight followed by dancing til dawn, complete with dinner (at 1:00), fricasse (at 4:00) and a special hot drink called api served with a warm cheese-filled empanada called llaucha at 6:00. I had a great time dancing to familiar 80s tunes and learning traditional dances like the cueca, and observing some impressive tango. Yay 2008!
We then had the good fortune of discovering our first apartment in La Paz, a mere block from Fernando's office, with a great view from high atop the 19th floor. We moved in this weekend, and while we still have a long way to go towards furnishing it, are thrilled to have started! Today the job search starts in earnest, so I hope to have news on that front soon!!
