Crazy in Santa Cruz, but Calm in Cochabamba


A lot of people have heard about the political situations here in Bolivia that have led to the US Ambassador being kicked, the DEA being out and fighting and deaths in the Eastern region. We are thankful that the issues with protests and violence are about 3-4 hours away from us. The only effects we have felt so far is a shortage of gas. But all is calm. We hope people unhappy with President Evo Morales will reach a peaceful agreement soon, that people losing lives will enable both sides to see that violence is not the answer. Thank you all for your concern and we hope all will continue to be peaceful in our city. We do appreciate prayers for the country and Cochabamba, we hope to be able to continue to feel safe.
