We've been in Santa Cruz since Sunday (today is Thursday) and today we are visiting one of Bolivia's cash crops - Sugar cane.
Sugar cane needs manual labor, and so immigrants come here (from the Altiplano) for the harvest, then stay. Interesting web page about some of the repercussions: http://base.d-p-h.info/en/fiches/dph/fiche-dph-7798.html
Besides the humidity, the weather hasn't been too bad. We leave Saturday for the US, where I'll be updating my blog with the millions of photos I took!
