We finally got to go to the Cristo statue. We met some friends at the Institute dance and they invited us to go hiking with them. We took a "trufi" to the church where we all met and walked to the base of the mountain. We, then, took a taxi to the top and took some pictures. We paid 2 bolivianos to climb up into the Cristo statue and look out all the holes to see the view of the city. It was beautiful. This Cristo statue is the tallest in the world. Who knew? We walked down the stairs to get back down. It was really fun and a good start to our trip. I really want to make a lot of friends here.
