From Montréal

September 7, 2007
Tags:

I’m at LASA, in Montréal. It was a long (but not tedious) drive. And now I’m enjoying free WiFi in the hotel lobby, catching up on emails. The panels are interesting, of course (though we missed Alvaro García Linera’s presentation). And I’m hoping not to completely burn out before my Saturday panel (and I’ll need energy for the drive back!).

Catching up w/ Bolivian news is disturbing, but not unexpected. Street violence in Sucre, w/ promises of more to come. Both sides are to blame of course. And inflation has hit double digits (sparking fears of hyperinflation).

    Here's a good photo from Sucre, "Un grupo de jóvenes reclama por el respeto a la democracia, en una inusual forma de protesta política."

      If you're returning through the Champlain, NY border crossing, be prepared for a wait of about an hour and lots of invasive and borderline-nasty questions.

      Oh, and you get to repeat this process at a second checkpoint about an hour inside the border on I-87.

        Actually, crossing the border took us about 5 minutes, and we only went through one checkpoint.
