In Santa Cruz

| 3 Comments

We arrived a few days ago, safe & sound in Santa Cruz. Spent most of the days catching up w/ my parents & family, eating camba food, and relaxing after a long academic year. So far, things are going well. The weather's pleasant (sunny, breezy, otherwise calm). Today we hope to get some work done (I have to edit some articles; K8 has to grade papers & do some writing), before going out (if we both feel up to it) to stroll Monsenor Rivera, the downtown cafe district.

Politically, the situation is getting interesting (check my del.icio.us links), w/ a simmering conflict between Evo (president) & Ruben Costas (the Santa Cruz prefect): Evo chose not to attend a scheduled meeting yesterday between the two. We'll see what happens in the next few days.
