What a Wedding!

So I know I've mentioned that they sure do know how to party here in Bolivia, but having attended my first wedding, I'm now convinced they are the biggest best partiers on the planet! I'm exhausted...
Now just think about the poor bride... three full days of partying and dancing... at 6 months pregnant! I don't know how she did it!
There were two giant teir cakes, a chicken dinner, free liquor, etc. for I'm guessing more than 300 guests. Seeing all the traditions and customs was a real treat. I feel very priviledged to have been invited... what an insight into culture, celebration, and family here in Bolivia.

Well after another baptism, the wedding, and going up into the mines again this morning I'm officially TIRED! So, I'll have to write more later...
Can't believe my time here is coming to end - it doesn't seem possible!
LOVE, kk
