Day 1 in La Paz!

Most of the student coaches arrived this morning, all safe and sound.  We still have 2 more to complete this year's team and we are looking forward to welcoming them soon.

After some much needed rest (they arrived at 5am) we went through our orientation and everyone seems as excited to be here as we are.  Due to either pure luck or incredible planning, Day 1 coincided with Gran Poder, the largest festival in Bolivia, so everyone got an early taste of the rich local culture.

We will be adding photos and videos to this blog throughout the week and will introduce all this year's Student Coaches tomorrow.  For those interested please follow the blog by email, through blogger, or check back regularly.
