We've launched our website! While I've dealt with websites before, but this endeavor promises to be longer lasting and more demanding. Rommy has already gotten the hang of administering the website and Oscar will be shooting the first video for the site this coming week. Rommy is creating the Spanish content and I'm working on the English. Pascal, a Belgian-Canadian staying with Rommy's family, will translate our site into Flemmish...Because Flemmish is hot and so are the Flemms.

We've narrowed down our search for a Cochabamba HQ to two different locations and will be deciding this week I think. Once that's done, a whole mileau of things can happen; we register for our tax id (NIT), license to do business, chamber of commerce, and such jollyness. Shockingly, it's extremely easy and quick to start a business here in Cochabamba in a country reknowned for corruption and bureaucracy.

Rommy is researching how to make Quinua flour and her father, Mario, brought her a whole cupauzu fruit from the amazon to do some juice or wine testing. This week we will look into getting German guidebooks and literature from a new German friend Bastian who runs an exciting community tourism project.
