Gelatinas encapsulada

So Zulma (our cook) and Sandra (her daughter that we live with) have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to teach me how to make flower designs inside of jello. It is the new, hip, crafty thing to do here in Bolivia and all it requires is good skills with a needle. When Jayson saw that medical equipment was involved he quickly became interested in the project too. Needless to say all the ladies were a little caught off guard. Men and women have very distinct roles here in Bolivia and rarely do their roles overlap. For instance men solely drive, work, and watch futbol. Women on the other hand do dishes, cook, make crafts, and watch after the children.

I could tell the ladies were a little nervous when Jayson curiously asked if he could be part of the fun, but there reluctance quickly went away when they saw Jayson’s beautiful rose. After that Jayson was referred to as master teacher and we were all vying to have him give us lessons.
