We dropped my parents at the airport on Sunday morning and made it to church. After church we went back to the hotel to check out and swam one last time. We went Casa del Camba for a late lunch. We tried all the traditional Santa Cruz dishes like Majidito and Sopa de Mani. After lunch Gary, Diane and Grant played miniature golf. The course was so rough and they lost a ball or two in a few of the tunnels. That night we got to show them our house for the first time.
We went to the orphanage and introduced them to everybody there. Unfortunately Diane and Gary both got pretty sick from something they ate or drank. We had to make a run to the pharmacy and they took a lot of little pink pills the entire time they were here :( Tuesday we tried to go to Los Espejillos but it had rained and we couldn't get through the road. Wednesday and Thursday we went to Samaipata and visited all our favorites like Lago Volcan (Volcano Lake) and El Fuerte. On Friday we came back and went to Los Espejillos, which is it's own entry earlier in the blog :) It was the craziest day I've had to date in Bolivia. We shopped all day on Saturday and Sunday we grabbed a flight to Sao Paulo to visit family.
Here is my Mom and Diane and Gary on the morning we had to take my parents to the airport. 
This Christmas tree was sitting on real grass that was brought into the hotel. They watered the grass regulary while we were there. 
We did have one big hitch in our visit...Gary and Diane tried to get money out of the ATM. It said it was processing and then no money came out. They checked online and the money came out! So they were out money and it was a huge fiasco but fortunately it was eventually cleared up.
At Volcano Lake we ate a picnic lunch by the lake. Grant and Gary walked to the other side of the lake while Diane and I enjoyed the scenery.

Proud parents with their oldest :)
Grant on the balcony at La Vispera where we stayed in Samaipata. The stars from this place were amazing--the best view I've had of the stars in my life.
