On the road

12.21.2003

In a few hours, I hop a bus to Santa Cruz for the holidays. The trip takes 12-15 hours by highway. I'll be back in La Paz after a week. I hope to blog from la capital oriental (if I can get away from all the family excitement). But I'll be sure to at least take lots of holiday pictures and whatnot.

Safe travels!

Thanks. And it was safe. The anti-narcoterrorism police (FELCN) got made us all get off the bus, walk a block down the highway, while they searched the vehicle as we left the Chapare. Not sure what good it does (since they don't even use search dogs) — and the young office I asked said she didn't know either — but I guess the Bolivian government made sure I travelled safe enough.
