Finding Jesus

 

The views out the bus window were spectacular.  This was good for two reasons.  I got to see the Central Highlands of Bolivia.  More importantly, the bus ride was over 8 hours, and it gave me something to do besides think about how I had to pee.

Everyone kept telling us that Cochabamba would be warm.  As you can see by my clothes, it wasn't.  The cold front that brought snow to La Paz also brought cooler temperatures to this region. 
                     
We visited the Cristo de la Concordia.  It's similar to the statue in Rio de Janiero except it's 44 cm taller.  They built it over 33 meters high, one meter for each year of Christ's life, and since he lived a little more than 33 years, they added a little extra.  I think they just wanted to outdo Brazil.
