Daily Update
Dear friends and family. Hope all is well at home. I have now been in Bolivia for over a month and am slowly getting into the rhythm of being a student again. I have 4 hours of Spanish class a day. Most of my classes are now in coversation although I still have the joy of trying to learn Spanish grammar in Spanish. Classes are going well and I see that my language skills are improving slowly but surely. If you want to reach me on skype my address is:tgraff2.

Unrest in Bolivia
For all those who have been hearing about the political unrest in Bolivia please know that the unrest has been in other parts of the country. I hear many different versions of the reasons for the troubles here: racism, economic pressure, outside international involvment etc.. I am sure that all play a part in the troubles that seem to always happen here. Please keep Bolivia in your thoughts and prayers. Know that I am safe and remember you all daily in my prayers as well.

Here In Bolivia
I thought that this blog would be a good way of letting everyone know what was going on in my time in Bolivia and Latin America. Since so many have been in touch this seemed like the easiest way to get information out to all of my friends and family. Thanks again for all of your love and support and I will try to keep this as updated as possible.
