I’ve
officially been in La Paz for a little over a week and so far I’m loving it!
Everyone here has been so friendly and helpful, from my homestay family to my
coworkers. They’ve taken me out to lunch, shown me around the city, pointed out
the good restaurants and stores, and have generally made me feel very welcome.
The
apartment I’m staying at is really nice! It’s in a relatively new apartment
building called Torre de las Américas. I’m on the 21st floor and the
view is gorgeous. From the living
room you can see the whole landscape – the snowy Illimani mountain in the
distance, to its right is a peak in the mountains called la Muela del Diablo
(the Devil’s tooth), and the rest of the mountainous terrain in the background,
with the many multicolored, clustered buildings in the foreground. Having lived
in an apartment on the 4th floor for all my life, I’m fascinated by
this view and often catch myself staring at it for minutes at a time.
It doesn't look real! The view from the living room, with the snowy Illimani towards the left corner and the Muela del Diablo above the chair on the right, right next to the middle window pane |
View from my room on a particularly beautiful morning (7:30am)! |
As for
my work, the first week went pretty well. Had some meetings here and there,
learned about the software products that Colosa sells called ProcessMaker and
ProcessMapper, and completed a 10-hour
training course on how to use ProcessMaker. I won’t say that it was the
most entertaining thing I’ve done, but it was definitely useful in getting to
know the product in-depth.
I can’t
wait to travel and share more exciting updates!
Hasta luego,
Emi (my Spanish nickname)
