On day 5, we heard from Dan Moriarty, a lay Maryknoll who has spent more than 20 years in Bolivia. He discussed race and racism in Bolivia, including the escalation of racist attacks during the Morales administration. Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures!<\/p>\n

In the afternoon,\u00a0we departed for Torotoro National Park, which involved many amazing adventures. Getting there was a 6 hour bus ride to cover 85 miles of intense switchbacks and some of the most amazing scenery I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

The next day we did an “easy” hike down into a gigantic canyon, and enjoyed some cool river water.

But the highlight for me was having students teach me to play bullsh*t after dinner.
