So we have been a bit slack with the news lately, but it is only because we are acting pretty slack as well here in Sucre. We do 3 hours of Spanish a day and then we are usually tired from the mental sweat we have built up (hiiii to everyone going to uni multiple days a week) so we either read or watch cable tv (yay) or think about what epic meal we (steve really) are going to cook for dinner.
The spanish has been so helpful and really fun as well. We have picked it up fairly quickly so hopefully we will start being able to have full conversations in Spanish soon.
We did go to Tarabuco markets on Sunday. Tarabuco is a village about and hour and a half from here that is famous for weaving and they have Sunday markets that locals go to for clothes, food and other random stuff. There is also a lot of local handicrafs and steve and i bought a really nice weaving and some coca leaves which we are going to try (steve is going to chew them and i am going to make tea). They are used to ward off hunger and fatigue and are apparently really good for altitude as well.
On Friday we are going to Uyuni which is the town where we will take the tour of the Salt Flats from. Then we are going to La Paz for a few days, then Lake Titicaca, then onto Peru for our Inca Trail Trek.
We have way more photos to upload but the internet here is pretty slack (as some of you know from recieving our crappy skype calls) so here is two we managed to upload the other day before the internet cut out.

Cocoa leaves are supposed to be the best thing for altitude sickness apart from diamox so would be good to have with you for the next leg of the trip.
Wish I had some for Ladakh but not much cocoa in the himalayas.
Have fun, be safe.
