Oruro

We are leaving La Paz today and hoping to go to Oruro, land of the famous Diablo Carnival http://www.trekker.co.il/english/bolivia/b-diablada-08.htm and of a very rich silver mine now almost entirely gone that created many riches for the Spanish.

We will be in Cochabamba on Sunday for more interviews and a trip to a massive gathering of campesino activists in the campo (country side)

The trip to La Paz has been incredibly intense and enlightening. My interview with Evo Morales will be featured in the Toronto Star on Sunday...I will post the link. And Iwill be writing a more analytic piece for rabble next week.

As you can probably tell, I feel honoured that I could be here for this important moment in history. Whether nor not the MAS can pull off the revolutionary changes they are planning, it is an amazing moment in the history of the global struggle for equality and social justice.
