Oil and Water Project

We noticed that all of our radiator hoses were very swollen on our trip through death road. So we spent the last days coordinating new rubber! yesterday, once complete, Kristian…a boater from Oregon took us south to this river north of Bermejo. We loaned him our extra boat (it didn´t come back home the same afterwards, but regardless…it came back). We expected class 3 and got some sweet 4plus with some great scenery. On the way home one of the hoses blew off, we over heated, and spent half the night getting back to Tarija, where we couldn´t find a parking place for the life of us! We settled for a nice spot in front of the Police station at 2:30 am.

We were up again this morning at 7am to present to over 600 primary school students….followed directly by a hazy press conference with all the local media.

The kids had some great questions and they all brought in the waste oil from the mom´s kitchens for us to use on our journey south!

In the afternoon headed over for a around 750 secondary students.

The primary kids at this school didn´t get our presentation, so we took them for laps around the soccer field.
