In the beginning...

The first thing I noticed when I set up my blog is that I last signed in at 12:13 am tomorrow! This just goes to show how strange this country is. You may say it is something to do with being logged in the wrong side of the international dateline, compared to my account setup location, and therefore I'm writing from yesterday.
But I guess this is what you call "living in the past."
So here I am. In Tarija Bolivia. Granted, I have actually been here for over two weeks, but it is only now the internet is reliable enough to use. The time has come to start my Blog!
I was going to call it "Drew's and Shay's adventures in Bolivia." But with my good wife's full approval I have decided to leave her name out. (She is "Shay" obviously. Or Syntyche to be precise)
My writing style tends to wander and be punctuated with all sorts of unrelated prattle. I don't want it to reflect on her. Besides, she has her own blog under way. It is:
http://www.ladybirdphotographs.com/blog.html if you want to have a look. (She has given me permission to tell you that.) She is doing some amazing photo work which I will borrow from shamelessly. It's a give and take relationship. In fact before you get sick of reading I will insert my first photograph!

This Photo is of the lancers that turned up in the main plaze of Salta, Argentina. We were sitting outside a restaurant, minding our own business, when a dozen of them came clattering over the cobblestones and posed right beside us for several minutes. After letting their horses urinate and defecate they proceeded to parade around the square to blaring music for a while and then left. I see you never know what is going to turn up in South America.

Oops, now I've asked permission she also insists I add her Photography website and facebook to increase the traffic! I have no problem with that since I'm hoping her photography is going to help fund our adventures.

They are:

and

So there you go.

But this is out of order. Just a cool photo that needed an explanation. My next post will address the whole coming to Bolivia to live idea.
