Day of Departure

Contrary to traditional decorum, its gentlemen first for the summer 2008 internship for MS4BCV. Over the past few months our predecessors and illustrious founders have cultivated our anticipation with heartwarming tales of heroism and courage, but now our time is at hand. We depart today armed with backpacks, passports, and proof of yellow fever vaccinations. Our first test will come 12,000 feet above the sea in the oxygen starved elevations of lofty La Paz as we wait for our connecting flight to Cochabamba. If we are to reach our final destination, we must first brave the altitude sickness that undoubtedly awaits us. Rumor has it that a coffee shop on the main level in front of American Airlines serves a remedy of coca tea that will ensure our survival. This rumor, however, is yet to be confirmed.
