Bolivia
Forgot to post that Carlos Mesa (am I right?), the president of Bolivia, has resigned. No-one seems in a big hurry to take his place, and a few people died in the demonstrations (miners, from what I heard) about the nationalistaion of the energy industry. Bolivia so need to get on top of all this energy stuff as they are sitting on literally a gold mine/oil well and yet the country is so impoverished. Much as I would like to return as soon as possible, and wouldn't go near La Paz except to walk down the MDR, everything is so confused at present, in my life and theirs, that an imminent return seems unlikely. Also, it's winter, and summer in UK is bad enough without a southern hemisphere winter to cope with. Hoy, Alberto, 15 grados, viento frío y lluvia, y aquí es verano, te juro!!!!

Hi Lindsey,
Your blogging of experiences in Bolivia, eRiding if you will, are very encouraging to someone like me who aspires to doing the same thing down the line.
If you would be amenable, I would like to e-mail you a short list of questions (5 in total) to do with eRiding. Your answers to these questions would be most helpful in clarifying if this is a course I should pursue.
I realize this comes out of the blue. However, an e-mail id to which I can send these questions (or if you like I can post them to this blog) would be most appreciated.
