Lost in the Jungle

La Paz, Bolivia

Tomorrow at the hour of 6:30 am Jess and i will be embarking on a 3 day jeep/boat/trekking trip to the jungle. This is suppose to be one of the best jungle treks in Bolivia from what we´ve heard and we are really excited. Once we are there we are thinking about doing a Pampas tour which is a boat tour where you can see all the animals. All and all it should be about a week that we we´ll be out there so dont expect any contact until next week sometime. We´re pretty sure we are going to fly back because 60 min flights beet 20 hour bus rides thru the jungle any day of the week.

La Paz has been our favorite capital so far and we have had a full week to see it. We have seen several museums with our favorite being the Coca Museum which basically out lines the history of the plant. For all of you that are anti Coca you should know that Coca Cola still is made to this day with coca leaves and they come straight from Bolivia.

Also this week we officially cut Brazil from our trip (partially because of the $100 entrance visa for Americans and partially because its own trip in itself) and added Columbia. On Christmas day Jess and i will be flying from Buenos Aires to Bogota. We have heard backpacker rave about Columbia since we got here so we are going to see what all the fuss is about.

Anyways we´re off to the jungle and we´ll talk to you in a week.

Best

Justin

Trip of a lifetime. The pictures have been amazing. Best of luck with the new trek you are currently on. Nothing new in Beantown. Work eat sleep every day and it never changes. It was awesome to here from both of you during the lake house weekend. What a great time to call considering you got to speak to just about everyone. Keep having a ton of fun and continue to stay safe!
