Edificio Maria Luisa (the Maria Luisa Building)


Well, we signed a 10 month lease and unpacked our suitcases. Ended up in a different apartment then we thought we had a verbal agreement with. While waiting for a confirmation from the original place, went to see another (this one with furniture), and took it. If you have google earth, go to Cochabamba and find the stadium. We are 5 blocks west of the north end of the stadium. A local described it as an older middle class neighborhood. We are on the top floor of a 5 story apartment, each apt. takes up one story. This is a photo looking west just after sunset. Feels really good to be settled. The building (Edificio Maria Luisa) is named after Grandma and everyone in the building belongs to the same family. Kids the same age as ours and grandma and grandpa here too. Had us down for a visit this evening. Grandma showing me how to store money in my bra so I don't get ripped off. Tom and Maggie mostly healthy again after a flu bug. Catie
