Peace after the Storm
We've decided to go ahead and stay in Sucre for now. Things are getting back to normal. Everyone pulled together to clean up the streets. In the interim volunteers took over law enforcement duties. Even most of the released jail inmates returned voluntarily. The banks opened up, and the police returned yesterday, which was our chief concern. And we were all getting sad about leaving. We've come to love it here: our school, our church, the people, our hotel apartment, even the barking basset next door. It's beginning to feel like home.

Photos of Uyuni Trip
Here is the link to our photos of the Uyuni trip. http://picasaweb.google.com/raemmans/StarredPhotosOfUyuni You may also want to check out the web news on Sucre for current events here. We're finding, though, that the press is not quite accurate. From Sucre's point of view, the "new constitution" has been imposed illegally, and they fear a dictatorship. That's what all the fuss is about. The streets are looking better now, nevertheless we are considering relocating until things are more settled.
