My family and house

This is my brother Alcides, he is 16 years old and we share room together. This is my bed and my part of the room.
During Carneval all kids was running around with waterballons, spray and sometimes painting. Its was not safe to be a Gringo in a small city those days, or anywhere for that matter. Does in La Paz and Santa Cruz had all the same experience. This is my youngest brother James and two other neighbor kids.
Me, my mother Simona and Juan Carlos preparing food. I am preparing Yuka, a root vegetable we eat a lot of, its really tasty, jsut a shame it mostly grows in Paraguay, Bolivia and Brasil in the tropical zone.
Celebrating Pacha Mama (mother earth), in my yard.
Me dancing Quechua dance at Juan Carlos b-day. And my aunt in the background is very pleased.
Birthday to Juan Carlos. The man to my right is my father.
When its raining it comes quick and leaves quick, but it is always thunder and very intense.
Me doing laundry.
My shower that is very tall. I am standing on some bricks in the mud. I havent showered in regulated heated water since Norway. It's never really cold, not even in the mornings and during the day the water can be so warm I cant stand in it.
Breakfast with 3 of my brothers, my mother and the daughter to another brother. I eat rice to each breakfast, lunsj and dinner.
