It's fall and time for uncertainty

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Things have gotten pretty crazy in the last little while here.

My work has gotten quite busy, we are getting ready to do our first business audits the week after next. We also just did a presentation in the Library about Bolivia and Canada World Youth which was pretty cool. Both Dennis and I are sick though so it was a pretty hoarse presentation.

We are settling into school and a new routine and also getting ready to leave. We only have five more weeks in Cochrane and are getting ready for Bolivia. I don't know how much you have heard about the situation in Bolivia but it is pretty bad right now which has me a bit worried. Flights are being cancelled and the borders are all blockaded. The road from Santa Cruz to Camiri is blocked too so even if we do get there we couldn't get to Camiri. The political situation is pretty bad with the military occupying various areas and protests in the streets. Ana Paola told me that her mother is having a hard time sleeping because there are protests and sirens all the time in the downtown of Santa Cruz. We are waiting to hear whether or not we will be able to go. A lot depends on whether or not the situation improves in the next couple of weeks. If we were leaving today, we couldn't go but hopefully things will calm down. The uncertainty is pretty stressful though.

On a lighter note, we celebrated Kim's birthday yesterday with a pirate party! The whole group and a bunch of Kim's friends dressed up as pirates and we danced and ate cake and hung out. Today is group bowling which I am excited for. I've got to leave soon to meet people there.

We are having a gorgeous end of summer day but I miss BC like crazy. The other day I was walking to a friends house and imagining what the air would smell like if I was in Victoria or Salmon Arm. I listened to a Vinyl Cafe program broadcast from Saltspring Island and just about came home. I hope all is well
Love,
Anna
