Backpacking Adventure!

For the longest time now, I´ve wanted to go on a backpacking trip. I love the idea of being in nature for an extended period of time. I love the momentary and acceptable dirtiness. I think it´s also a really neat way to bond with people and see a different side of them. The I-havent-changed-my-clothes-in-3-days, my-hair-looks-like-an-animal, watch-for-people-while-i-go-behind-this-bush side of people.

I never would have thought the opportunity would present itself so soon, let alone in Bolivia!!

A local church that works closely with BSCP is taking a group of about 30 people on a 3-day hike through mountains and jungles in Bolivia. We´re sleeping in freezing cold weather the first night, and warm jungle weather the next. I´m so excited because the pastor leading the trip said the views on the trip are reminiscent of scenes from the Lord of the Rings. We´ll also be studying the book of Galatians over the 3 days!

So, I leave tomorrow morning for an adventure through beautiful Bolivia. I promise to take pictures and share them with you all!
