I know, I know. We only spent three days in La Paz, and we're already off to Caranavi!
It's worth it though. Yesterday the Locklin family plus my grandmother, uncle David, and aunt Doris parted for Caranavi by taxi and traveled three and a half hours. We traveled from around 7:00 to 10:30 at night. I arrived feeling tired and nauseous after endless turns and twists around mountains and hills. In the actual city, we met up with Mr. Fidel, the director of Caranavi's orphanage: Casa de Esperanza. We all crowded into his truck and rode up one of the mountains, to where the orphanage stood. At night we couldn't see almost anything of the view or orphanage.
The next morning was different. The view was absolutely spectacular! Mountains covered with trees as far as the eye could see disappearing into the early morning mist. Below you could see all of Caranavi. And the weather is hot and humid, a real tropical climate!
Later we will get to meet the orphans and receive a tour of the place. I will post more pictures of the orphans and their living quarters.
So far, the Locklin family is really enjoying their visit to Casa de Esperanza!
