Sucre, Bolivia-

In the past, Wade from Vagabondjourney.com has asked me to transfer my blog and start writing on his site. In the past I’ve said no. There was something appealing about having my own space on the internet.

When Wade asked me again and set-up all the groundwork to make it an easy transition over to Vagabondjourney.com I decided to go for it. It’s still my own space and the biggest perk of the change being that I was able to get off Blogger and start using a WordPress framework which gives me more control over the look and feel of the blog. I might even get a few more readers out of the move.

So What does this Mean For You?

For you it shouldn’t mean much. If you currently subscribe to this blog through e-mail you should still receive e-mail updates. If you ‘followed’ my blog in the past this should also all be transferred over. If you have bookmarked my blog you will just have to update the bookmark. If you don’t you should still be redirected automatically to the new site.

Cubicle Ditcher is now www.cubicleditcher.vagabondjourney.com!

If you have any issues viewing the site or are no longer receiving updates let me know and I’ll fix it as soon as I can. Over the next few weeks you will probably notice a few more tweaks here and there.

What Else Have I Been Up To?

From Sucre 2011-05 – Recoletta neighborhood of Sucre

Just living. No traveling. I’ve decided to take a break from moving around for a bit and park myself here in Sucre. I’ve enrolled in a Spanish school and have been taking four hours of private 1-on-1 lessons a day. In the past week I’ve gotten a greater comfort in speaking and have been enjoying becoming more culturally immersed in the city. I’ve been trying to cut out as much English as possible but I still haven’t been able to cut it out completely. Alan has been here for the past week but leaves on Monday. Once gone that should cut out the majority of my current English speaking.

Other than Spanish lessons and studying I don’t do much. I’ve developed my routine of strolling down to the market for breakfast and lunch served each day by the same señorita. Walks around the city and sitting in the park reading occupy my afternoons. Every day is sunny and in the mid to upper 60’s without a cloud in the sky. Life is good.

    Sam
    We have similar travel styles. Basically, I like taking the plunge. Going where the wind don’t blow so strange. I have at times arrived upon places without any pre-arranged places to lay my head late in the day or evening. Somehow – providence guides me.
    I love the postings about Sucre. I’d love to get information on where you stayed and went to school as well. I coul easily see mysef staying a month in Sucre.
    I hope you’d share more tidbits.

      Hey Mark,

      Sucre is definitely a cool place to just relax and enjoy a slower paced lifestyle and meet some friendly locals. I took Spanish classes at the Bolivian Spanish School They have two schools. One is right on Parque Bolivar and I don’t remember which street their other school is on but their website has all their info, http://www.bolivianspanishschool.com/.

      When I was there I stayed in a hotel on Camargo near the corner of Camargo and Avaroa. I wish I could remember the name of it. It was a nice place place. A private room with a queen size bed and cable and cost about $7/night.
