Bolivia — Day 6

Went with Fredward to the flea market in the afternoon. Sharp contrast to the five star restaurant from last night. Trekked through aisles of fruit and unrefrigerated, freshly slaughtered meat which hung from clothes hangers. The rotten smell haunts my memory. I clung ever so tightly to my purse after several warnings of how many robberies occur there.

Fredward came with me to the poligimnasio. We got there late….after 7. As we were walking in a guy from the class was walking out holding a napkin against his forehead. His face was covered in blood. There was a T-shaped cut across his forehead. Someone had kneed him during sparring. When I got there the guys were in a circle and there was full blown sparring in the circle. I wasn’t down for full force sparring but I rolled a few rounds pretty hard with the instructor. I love MMA. I really love it.
