Driving in Bolivia
Below is a video I shot in January 2006 during a day we drove from Santa Cruz out to Casa Hogar Nacer in the country. It gives you some idea of what the traffic adventure in Bolivia can be like.
I posted this video on YouTube since the file size would be a bit too large to host here on my site.
El Jordán ... under construction!
This is a video we shot back in January 2006. At that time El Jordán was in the midst of a huge expansion project, which they called "Jericho." We spent some time walking through the building and shot some video.
It is especially interesting to note some Bolivian techniques that are different from typical American methods, for example:
* All walls are brick, covered by cement.
* Windows, doors, and walls are supported by small tree trunks, not 2x4s.
To watch this movie, you need Apple's QuickTime software installed on your computer.
