I wish I had some hi tech sound equipment so that I could record the sounds I wake up to each morning here in Bolivia. It is like I have pitched a tent in the middle of a bird sanctuary. There must be 20 different birds flying around my yard in the morning. Some I really want to see because they don't sound real. They sound like noises made by a bird whistle, the kind that hunters use. I'm up earlier that usual for a day off so I'm going to head outside in a bit to see if I can spot some of these birds. It really is such peaceful music to wake up to each morning.
Today is Monday of Carnival so no work. It is actually cold here!! I slept with my wool blanket last night and need to go put more warm clothes on right now. It has been raining here for about 3 weeks straight only it hasn't been cold. The cold front hit this weekend, it is a nice change. It sort of messed up the carnival festiviities. The big corso, parade, that was suppose to start Saturday night was postponed until Sunday afternoon. So many people have so much fun here during this carnival weekend. I'm holed up in my house avoiding the water balloons, foam and whatever else is going on. I'm not bothered, it is nice to just be at home for a few days.
