Sister Damon is heading to the States in two weeks and, among her Herculean heap of tasks there, she'll be visiting an elementary school to talk about kids in Bolivia. It's been fun fulfilling her photo assignments: the work, pets, play, school, and family life of children here. This sight -- nestled in between two of the tiendas (that are also people's homes) --made me run home for my camera, telephoto lens and all.

And on the way there I was treated to a rare glimpse of Carmen Pampa's only gato. (¡En serio!)
