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.

Probably your standard South American coup attempt. Nothing to see here.

"I have no idea what's happening."
Take cover and let us know when you find out what the deal is.

Get off the Internet and get to a safe place.

Can you give a little background? I for one am not really aware of the current political situation in Bolivia.

It ain't a revolution if there's still Internet access.
All the same, stay safe and be well.

They're just welcoming Jimmy Carter, who's come down to
make sure the revolution is fair.

You THINK it was cannon fire?
If its not clear, its probably just large
fireworks or grenades. Cannons have a very
distinctive incomming sound.
