In 2007 my daughter and I ran into a Where There Be Dragons summer program in the rural highlands of Guatemala. I was so impressed by the Dragons approach that I have stalked their website ever since...and now I'm off on my own Dragons trip to Bolivia. I will be joining a group of educators for a two week experiential learning adventure with a focus on climate change. I'm looking forward to being a student..love the learning; love letting someone else drive the boat; and as a teacher, it's good for me to step into student shoes.
After two flights on American Airlines, I arrived in La Paz, Bolivia then switched to BoA Airline for a flight to Cochabamba. There were amazing views of the Andes which my obliging seat-mate attempted to capture on my camera.
The airline provided a small breakfast in a box, and I was surprised to open the lid and see Pope Francis, or Papa Francisco, as they say here. Our trip will overlap with his visit to Bolivia. He's been strong on climate change already; I have great hope for more.
