"You kind look like you're 16... and posting this to 

MySpace... except you're smiling"

So in Santa Cruz city, many of the people pay attention to their looks.  High heels wobble down the poorly constructed sidewalks, and residents come in every morning wearing make-up and earrings which match their nicely fitted scrub tops.

Another thing that is "in" is the fourth nail.  It's the accent nail, the spicy zest.  Most people get their nails done in the market, by other Bolivians.  Since I've always loved doing my own nails, I just took some old polish and gave it a shot.  Jackie and I certainly don't fit in here perfectly, and will likely just end up killing this trend, but here's my best attempt.
