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.

Maybe it's the futbol game against Argentina ...

Sounds like a typical futbol celebration.

I'm in Buenos Aires and if I wasn't so lazy right now I'd go check the bar scene down the street.

Anyway they played Chile last night so I doubt they are playing Bolivia tonight.
