Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

As we continue to sort out my fate here in Miami, it appears as though the situation in Bolivia has deteriorated rapidly. Several short days following Bob's return to La Paz, president Evo Morales demanded that ambassador Goldberg return to the U.S. A few days after that, martial law was declared in the Eastern region of the country. This trouble has been a long time in the making but it is surprising how quickly it has boiled over. And now, our happy little posting in a remote South American country complete with a little adventure in the mountains is not looking quite the same as it once did.

It seems to me that the trouble has remained in the east and that there is no danger in La Paz. While Bob had restored life to at least two of my herb plants in the living room, he is not sure he's going to stay there long enough to reap the rewards.
