BACK HOME IN LORETO

Two Oscars

During the two week winter vacation Oscar went to Loreto in El Beni, one of the states of Bolivia. That is where his family is from.  His 80 year old father, Oscar, still lives there.  While Oscar’s mother was alive she limited the contact he had with his father.  He has never lived with his father. Oscar was hoping that his father would come to this area and take a job as caretaker on a property that an uncle has not too far from Portachuelo.  At his age that is too big of an undertaking.  He plans to stay in Loreto and raise pigs like he has been doing for years. 

Oscar visits his father during each of the school vacations.  Here are some pictures he took in Loreto.  One can see why he likes to go back there.
