The Fishers in La Paz, Bolivia

We arrived back in NC this morning. We had a few stressful moments during the process of trying to return to the States, such as waiting three hours at the Bolivian immigration office for no apparent reason to get our passports back. Then when we arrived at the airport in La Paz, the man at the ticket counter said I didn’t have the right information and so he could not locate our reservations. Thankfully, our “travel agent” is a friend from school who I was able to call immediately and he located the correct numbers on his computer. We got to our flight there without a moment to spare, but all of our travel actually went pretty smoothly. No flights were delayed and our luggage made every leg of the journey from La Paz to Lima to Bogota to Miami to Charlotte – amazing! Avery was a real trooper, but we are all pretty worn out today.

We are communicating with our friends in Bolivia and keeping up with the news reports online, so we hope that a week from now we can determine if the situation is likely to remain stable enough for us to make flight reservations to return.
