We enjoyed a visit last week from Roland and Carol Bowen, members of the missions committee from our sponsoring congregation and ex-missionaries to Chile. We enjoyed having them as always. They spent several days with each family and one day with the whole team talking about raising families on the mission field. A couple of the the days they were with us were holidays. We took advantage of that fact and headed out for a day trip to try something new. That always involves an element of risk and adventure in Bolivia, because you never know if something is going to be great or an absolute bomb. Thankfully, this time it was wonderful. We drove about 30k to a place called La Cabana. They had beautiful spacious lawns with eucalyptis trees, a colonial type building, soccer/volleyball/ping-pong/tennis, a thermal pool fed by hot springs, a playground, a wonderful 4 course lunch (served on time!), a pond with a zip-line and boat, a suspension bridge across a river to an abandoned train track. And although we didn't spend the night, they have rooms available as well. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to the Bowens for being willing to explore with us.
The pool was fabulous - bathtub hot water - you had to wear these bathing caps, but at least you know they care about cleanliness.
Eliana in front of the suspension bridge - it was a little scary going across, especially when you got to a broken board in the middle!
Beautiful grounds!

In the tree house - it would be a great place for bird watching, Mom and Dad!
