Santa Cruz

So one final overnight bus, and a final town in Bolivia.  Santa Cruz was a strange sort of place to visit, unlike the rest of Bolivia and certainly not touristy.  There´s evidence of some money being made with expensive cars and global brand names including the largest Burger King I´ve ever seen.
The streets were lined with a multitude of statues and sculptures.

Jesus in the middle of the ring road 

Arenal park, somewhat functional

A day trip to Biosphere Guambe I got to see a variety of birds and butterflies and even a sloth.

One final item for the record, something I´ll miss - Durazno con leche (peach milkshake), although it didn´t always come with lemon meringue pie.
