On Thursday December 27th our group did a mini "Amazing Race" across the first ring of Santa Cruz to help the Canadians learn a bit more about the city and learn to find their way around. All of the Canadians were paired up (pairs were picked randomly from a hat), and then they were given one Bolivian "guide". The rules were that the "guides" were to accompany us, but they couldn't help us by translating, or giving us directions. They were just there to make sure we stayed inside the first ring, and to help us stay safe.
My team was Ian, (a Canadian from Nova Scotia), and Nicole, (our Bolivian "guide"). Each team was given a paper with checkpoints across the city, and instructions for what to do at each checkpoint. We were also given a map of the city.
Then we began the race! It took a bit under three hours for the first team to reach the finish line. Guess who the first team was? Ian, Nicole, and I! :)
Everyone had tons of fun, and we all learned a bit more about the city and how to get around, so in general it was a great activity for the whole group!
