I
was up early to finish my Spanish homework over breakfast before making my way
to my lesson. My chest is feeling tight but during the day it seems to get
better. At the lesson I was tired but fortunately managed to concentrate.
Back
at the hostel I did my homework before grabbing something to eat from the
restaurant. I also met up with Andy and Michelle (Sandra still broken) and we
went to a dinosaur park. I am not sure what to expect but its worth an outing.
The park was built due to the fact that they found over 4000 footprints in a
rock. They found them when a cement mine stopped mining because they found zinc
oxide. Once they broke through the zinc oxide they found the footprints on a
rock that is now vertical from shifts in the tectonic plates. Inside the museum
we had a very quick tour by an English speaking guide where he explained which
dinosaur footprints could be seen. There
were a few life size model dinosaurs but not much else to be seen.
As
the museum was next to the mine and on top of the hill it also gave some great
views over Sucre. After our quick tour we took a local bus back into town and
drove through a few local areas that we hadn't walked through yet. We jumped
off the bus close to the hostel and had a short walk from the back to the
hostel where we had a few beers before a traditional Bolivia dance was
performed by some locals.
The
dancers were very colourfully dressed and some of the dances that they
performed were a traditional tribute to pachamama (mother nature). We sat
having a few more drinks after the show and the stage very soon turned into a
dance floor and a big night seemed to be brewing. I decided to call it a night
as my chest was still feeling tight and I had more Spanish in the morning.
