A trip to Cochabamba would not be complete without a climb to El Cristo de la Concordia, the largest statue of Christ in South America, on a hill overlooking the city and valley. We hiked up the 1349 steps (yes, Deb counted on the way down) to see the statue. It towers over you as you stand on the ground and watch the clouds float overhead against the blue sky. For both of us it was a special spiritual moment and prayers were said for all of the people in our lives, our blessings and faith. The inscription at the base says, "This is my commandment. Love one another as I have loved you." In all of our travels, we have surely been witness to the incredible love in the people we have met.
