Cochabamba Bolivia - 2010 - Travel from Philly to Cochabamba

The storms in Philadelphia delayed our departure a day because of what would have been a missed connection in MIA, and then getting out the next day was full of delays as well.  We sat on the tarmac for a while in Philly, I think because of that terrorist plot in London that had some kind of a Philly connection, I don't know, there was no explanation.  And then in Miami, after boarding, we all had to be evacuated from the plane because of "a burning smell and smoke"...turns out the wiring for one of the TVs in the cabin went bad, and so after a quick tv/wiring replacement, we all re-boarded, and left a few hours late.  No problems otherwise in Bolivia with customs, flights, airports, etc. despite some fairly strong turbulence coming into and out of both Santa Cruz and La Paz.  Papi picked us up in what was a beautiful summer afternoon in Cochabamba. 

It was just the two of us and Papi for a little while because Juber was still in Santa Cruz (he arrived Monday morning), the girls were at college, and Mami was working.  We got to the house and played with Pitu (my girlfriend, a sweet and playful Chow) in the back yard, then Mami came home and we hung out for a little while, then we picked up the girls and all had a delicious pizza dinner out together downtown.
