Safety impressions

I took a stroll for a couple of hours around Cochabamba and I must say the city seems pretty safe. At no point did I ever feel threatened or unsafe. The Cochabambambinos ( as the locals are called) are very friendly and easy going.  I think this place is a little off the beaten track for north American travellers and therefor does not have many of the trappings of the more touristy destinations. The weather here is awesome - mid 20's in the day and high teens in the evenings. The place is full of life.
