I'm writing this from an internet cafe in La Paz, Bolivia. About fifteen minutes ago, I started to hear what I think was gunfire and cannon fire from right outside the cafe. It was shortly followed by bullhorns booming and people chanting. The gunfire is intermittent now.
I have no idea what's happening.
It was a few months...but while I was there, the youngsters would walk up to me and ask me things like, "Is it true that in America you can go anywhere you want?" I spoke with many of the eager young people, who enjoyed practicing their English with me. They were very bright and curious, but most of all brave. Later many of them laid down their lives in an effort to gain their own freedom.
