¿Que hora es Señor Lobo?

It´s Friday evening, the chicitos are cruising the streets and "I need a hero" is blasting out in the internet cafe. This is Cochabamba at the weekend and man are we glad it´s Friday! We are having a great time, but it is very challenging, partly the work, partly the culture and partly that we are out of out comfort zone we guess.
So, updates are as follows - 
Work: Today we fought our way through a bonkers traffic jam, where everyone had come onto the roundabout at the same time and just sat there leaning on their horns. Then we got to the project and introduced the kiddies to "What´s the time Mr Wolf?" which went down very well and Lou is now Ma Ma Lou. Tennis is Uncle. We then literally force fed them soup and rice, as it may be the last meal until Monday for most of them. Felt a bit brutal, but neccessary too. Then we went to the older kids project and took a couple of them out to sell the bread they had made earlier. Going door to door in the noon day sun in a dusty village, was very Sergio Leone at points, particularly as we crossed the disused railtrack clutching the tiny hands of children, with only the mountain backdrop as company and carrying a basket of bread. Luckily we off loaded most of the bounty to a Bolivian mechanic who had lived off Tavistock Sq for 3 years and now considers Tennis his brother.

Oh god Bonnie is on loop....

We came home coated in dust and various child excretions, so after the water supply was back on, showered ourselves back to normality and are planning a weekend of Bolivian cuisine, a football match and a trip to the market.

Oh yeah, all those who moan about their caseloads, there are 2000 prisoners in Cochabamba, with 2 lawyers, 2 social workers and 2 rehab workers!!

Other updates -
Breakages/injuries:
Tennis broke the gate, walked into a telegraph pole and fell over a paving slab. Ma Ma Lou Lou has been remarkably vertical so far.

Crazy things we have seen:

• Tiny rickety trufi, with narrow door with four steps, seats strapped togethr with belts and only stopping to collect passengers in the middle of the road, proudly displaying it's disabled access badge
• Man rendering building in the middle of the night with wife holding torch to light his way
• Our trufi driver stopping to pick up a large spring that had dropped off and then carrying on driving

Dog Aversion Therapy:
Tennis has made great strides this week, by moving Bruno from his path by grabbing his collar and even protecting the cat from Bruno's clutches when they both dived through the back door. He is showing great promise.

Weather:
Scorchio

And Bonnie is still going c.loop 9 - Ted I'm going mad.
