Hola. It's been a while since we did a blog. This one covers part of our drive down, the band visit, our Christmas back in Ladner and our return in the new year.
Both Leanne's Mom and Paul's Dad are in hospital and facing many age related issues.
As usual, this selection of various photos tells the story of our interesting life down here in the ever changing city of La Paz.
