El Cristo

After looking back at pictures of Chile and its Cristo I realized I have never posted pictures of our very own Cristo looking over the city of Cochabamba. It's one of the first things you notice really when coming into Cochabamba because he is situated on a hill that you can see from practically anywhere in the city. You can also go up there and get a closer look at him and a beautiful view of the city. We have been up three times so far.

These first pictures are just to give an idea of where he is situated in the city. And I did not take them...got them from the internet.

But I did take the rest of the pictures...

There are many ways to get up there. You can drive,

walk up the stairs,

or take the gondola.

Here are some of the views from up there.

And some of the views form inside the Cristo. I think this is taken from the armpit.

Here is another of many pictures of Ariel on Matt's shoulders.

Kristen by a tree.

And Matt with Marcelino who is the house father in one of the orphanages.
