Like we needed that, you know? Chavez has now given the US Ambassador to Caracas 72 hours to get out, in a show of solidarity to Evo. Buds, how nice. Not sure if you read about it, but he's also planning to bring his troops into Bolivia if Evo looks like he's going to be kicked off the throne. Venezuelan troops vs. Bolivian civilians...in Bolivia...Danny Glover still wants to be friends with this guy?
Things are not getting better but for now they're not getting worse here in La Paz. We're preparing for the worst, kind of like prepping for a hurricane, evac and all. John's still at work, he's liking the action just not liking that his family is here with him. Everyone's still hoping that things will cool off and Evo will stop slamming doors. Can't we all just get along?
I'm a bit more nervous but plans are underway to keep us safe. Again, all's quiet on the La Paz front and no word that that's going to change. There's concern that the power might go out but we're supposed to have a generator here as soon as tomorrow. We've got a satellite phone, a bat cave kind of radio with communication between us and the Embassy.
Tomorrow I'll go get more water and toilet paper...maybe pick up some vodka!
