Today started a different adventure for me. All this week I am responsible for taking Julio to his school in Cochabamba. So I'm up at 5:30am to get myself ready in time to get him ready in time to walk to Sipe Sipe and catch a trufi to Quillacollo to find a bus to Cochabamba. Julio goes to a special school near the church.
And it was still raining this morning (good thing I brought my clothes inside last night). But we made it! Julio held my hand and talked the entire way. I headed to the church to get some work done on the internet, and then picked Julio back up at noon. We made it home safely.
In the morning one of the boys had told me that Monica the cow had "secretions" and might have her baby at any minute. I was so pumped! In the afternoon, the vet came, but he said it wouldn't be until early December. He did take the time to instruct a group of grandes in how to "clean the cow out" which should be done every 3 weeks. Basically, you tie the cow up as tightly as possible, and then just stick your arm in and scoop out the poo that collects inside. No gloves required.
