The crowd on their way to mass at Urkupiña.Notice the soldiers in white helmets.
Holy water time.
Here she is.
Pilgrims on the hill 
overlooking Cochabamba and the nearby mountains. You can get an idea of how many people were there by squinting and seeing that the line of people fills the road all the way to the end of the photo.

An East Tennesseean, my years at MTSU were a time of discovery in which I formed some of the deepest friendships I could imagine. I then joined the Alliance for Catholic Education, a service/graduate program at Notre Dame and taught science and religion at Holy Trinity Catholic Middle School in Charlotte. Severe growing pains marked these years, but God taught me lessons I needed to learn and I emerged a stronger and fuller person. Two and a half years in the desert of southwest Idaho brought about healing, rejuvination, and a sense of self that has helped to reinforce my identity. Two seasons of chasing Southern Idaho Ground Squirrels and writing a thesis taught me about discipline and sacrifice. I then found myself on the rocky coast Wales teaching field research. A year of exploration of ecosystems and cultural identity, both mine, and that of those with whom I worked. The opportunity to view yourself and your world through the eyes of others so different from yourself is priceless. All these experiences culminated in this great endeavor. I will be going to Tiraque, Bolivia with Jesuit Volunteer International for two years.
