We've got wheels!

This week the Bolivian Government decided to raise the price of gas after being the same for the past 6 years, the increase was pretty dramatic. The price went up 70% which in turn has raised the prices for taxis, buses, groceries, clothes, you name it. For the past few months we've been using public transportation but it's tough sometimes when you have a Bible Study or you need to go somewhere when it's dark, so we finally decided to get a little moped. Today was the first full day of being able to use it in service and to run errands and it worked out great. What it would be costing us to get a cab to downtown and back, we can now fill up our gas tank. Here's a picture below from service today.
