Perhaps you've been reading Bob's blog and already know but here's the scoop: I will not be returning to Bolivia. I suppose we should have guessed this sooner but the doctors are not comfortable sending me back to a high altitude post. And so we bring to a close our very short tour of La Paz. I believe I lasted just over 3 weeks at post. Of course, I've done about 8 weeks here in Miami already but I'm not sure we get any credit for that.
Bob and I both have our regrets about not being able to complete our time in Bolivia. We've been preparing for this since before we were married. Heck, I never even saw an alpaca! At the same time, this isn't such a bad time to be leaving La Paz. The search for a new overseas posting is already underway and we may have additional news to release within days.
While Miami doesn't have alpacas, it does have wild parrots. The other day I was a little too slow with my camera and didn't catch the parrot on my window sill. How many times do you get a second chance like this?
After this guy took off he joined about 10 of his friends to cruise around the nearby parking lots. I had no idea parrots travelled in flocks.

Goodbye, Parrot. Goodbye, Miami.
