Estoy Establecida!



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)
