But much to our surprise, about 15 mins before midnight, we started to hear what sounded like the entire city was being bombed! I think every household in Sucre had started shooting off fireworks. They were going off quite steadily for 15-20 mins. It was actually pretty impressive. Here is a little video clip below. It doesn't quite do it justice, but you can get the idea. Blessings to all of you for 2010!

New Years in Sucre
It really is amazing to us that it's already the year 2010! Our time in Bolivia has really flown by. This was our first New's Years in Bolivia and we didn't do anything too significant to ring in the new year. There were a few special treats that we were able to find at the store - the most exciting being a few cans of Dr Pepper soda! The caffeine came in handy as we stayed up to see the ball drop in New York (which was actually 1 am in Sucre.)

I can TOTALLY relate to the "bombing" as you heard on our end while skyping... thanks for the encouraging word for the little guys... i'll tell them you said hey. Also, news.... Grayson AND Jacob are being home schooled again... i guess the whole "school " thing was a little over rated for them. ... can't decide how I feel but we're moving on... this adjustment thing may kill me yet.... jk... well, maybe not ! hheehehe we love you all ~
