Bolivia

My brother is now blogging from Bolivia. He says he’ll be posting more once he gets internet at home. In the meantime, check out his friend Pancho en Ecuador, (sitio en Español) who’s working on a similar project in Ecuador. Particularly amusing is his story of a visit to story Lago Agrio, a town known principally for what are called the three Ps (putas, petroleros, y pistoleros — that is, whores, oilmen, and gunslingers). Plus, tips for flying through the Andes in a tiny plane rated for flights below 2500 meters: start to worry if the pilot looks terrified.
