4.1.08 Cockfights and enchiladas

Sunday was an interesting day. A group of us went to La Paz to see a cockfight. I figured I wouldn’t be too entertained by the whole thing but that it would be a good cultural experience. Well it was definitely an experience…I was probably 1 of 5 women in the whole place which I expected but it was still weird. And the cockfights are really gruesome…more so than I expected. It was really hot that day and all the sudden, I started feeling dizzy and seeing white spots so I went outside and sat down, pretty close to fainting. Whew…a bit scary but all is well. Eventually I came home and made delicious beef enchiladas for my family, which they loved!

Here are some more pictures of my adventures…
