We had to leave at 5:30am to catch a flight to Cochabamba, Bolivia. Everyone’s excited because this place should only be 4,000 feet above sea level. I’m telling you, never in my life did that number mean so much to me!

It never fails that we seem to meet the nicest, most appreciative people in the smaller cities and they love the fact that there are contemporary hip hop artists willing to share with them. The bigger cities always have an opportunity to see performances but in the smaller cities, most artists never go there or the people can’t afford to get where the entertainment is. So thanks once again JALC on behalf of the many faces you’ll never get to meet first hand! It also never fails that everyone wants to hang out when the show is over. In most situations we can, but there are many situations where an early flight will prevent us from doing so.

Cochabamba is a really nice, quiet city. There are many sidewalk restaurants and a café can be found on any corner. The food choices range from native Bolivian food to American style chicken fingers to some of the best milkshakes and ice cream desserts you’ll ever have! (That last line was referring specifically to a restaurant called Dumbo’s!!!)
