Picturing Cochabamba

I wanted to share some images that are common sights here in Cochabamba.

This is one of the various methods of transportation here, a micro, a brightly colored small bus that has a set route. There is also a shared taxi with a set route that is called a taxi trufi. It is just a regular cab that is open to other passengers and is much cheaper.

This is La Recoleta church, the center of our neighborhood and the best place to go for cafés and great restaurants. 

                                                                          

Our apartment is located on the corner of a main street, Avenida Santa Cruz and a side street, Beni. Santa Cruz runs from the suburbs to downtown Cochabamba. Here is a photo our apartment building, taken from the steps of Dave's office.

Street art/graffiti is everywhere here, and it is rare to find a wall or street that isn’t covered with tagging or images.
