Well, I am going back to Sucre, Bolivia Aug 9th- the day before Evo’s reelection/ or whatever it is. I always seem to step into the middle of some huge, heated political event every time I go. First it was Noviembre Negro, now its the national elections. This visit will only be for a month but who knows what can happen while I’m there. It is Bolivia! Although this visit will be short-lived, something tells me I am going to have a life long relationship with el corozon del Sur America. Yes folks, I think we have a keeper. I also decided not to give up on my blogging about this wonderful, sometimes frustrating, sometimes crazy, sometimes magical country. Why continue holabolivia? When trying to figure out what exactly will be happening there on Aug 10th, I came up pretty empty handed. Let’s just say the smog in Beijing is getting a lot more coverage than Bolivia has gotten all year. I have come across one good source for the latest news in Boliva and I highly recommend it:
Jim Shultz’s Blog from Bolivia
I guess I am just a huge fan of Bolivia and like all countries I know it has its problems but I have fallen in love with its good and its bad and I hope that others can learn a little more about it or at least put it on their map. I remember when I first told my friends I was going to Bolivia, a good number of them had no idea where in the world it was. To many here in the States it is an unknown country and with reason; it barely gets any news coverage, and it is never the setting for movies or well known books. However, once you find it is very hard to let go! Nos vemos alla!!
I was just getting used to having you back on this continent!!!!!
Have a blast and I can’t wait to read all about it!
