Charging up the lush, green mountains - in the amazon basin area of Bolivia w/ 9 of our bravest boys from the 'El Camino,' boys' restoration home was absolutely exhilirating. We took a bus about an hour south of the boys' home & began our hike shortly after lunch. Our path followed a mountain creek bed & was full of phenomenal sights, vegetation, rock structure & critters along the way. It took several hours to make it to the top, but the scenery from above made it well worth it. On our way back down, Luis Enrique sliced my hand w/ the machete as he was chopping at Lord knows what - lesson learned: Never walk in front of the guy w/ the machete.
As we got to the bottom, the guys jumped into the river & it soon began to pour the rain. We had to jump into the back of a rock loaded truck as it was becoming dark & raining. Shortly after we were fully drenched, a bus came near & we all leaped off & boarded the bus back to the home. It had been an unforgettable weekend adventure.
