Desperdida Fiesta

Saturday night we had a party at Sustainable Bolivia for all of the volunteers leaving this week (including myself).  I am not usually one for costume parties, but this one intrigued me.  The theme was “La Cancha”.  La Cancha is the largest outdoor market in South America where you can find anything and everything.  Thus, you had to buy something at La Cancha and make a costume out of it.  People did not disapoint; there was one volunteer who dressed in traditional Bolivian garb, including rented braids, one person made his costume out of DVDS, and of course my flatmates who are pictured below.    I bought the cowboy hat at La Cancha and made a vest, complete with pockets, out of a shopping bag.  It was fun.  Can’t believe I leave Cocha this week, I am going to miss it.
