Ok, Ok, Ok, I guess I didn't give ya'll enough of the rest of the story.  So here is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  After enough "Viva Oruro" followed by a very deadly drink called the "Shufly" Carl started enjoying the Oruro dances a little more.  By 4 in the morning he was enjoying everything a lot, especially himself.  You know how drunks think they are the funniest people on earth, well Carl thought he invented funny.  Got him in the taxi, and home, had to sit him on the curb while I paid the taxi.  The doorman was really helpful and thought Carl was truly the funniest gringo he had ever seen. Glad they were both enjoying themselves so much! Got him on the elevator, passed our floor several times, as he thought he was in Vegas playing Kino with all the numbers in the elevator.  Was very careful with him in the apt., we are on the 9th floor and have several open balconies.  He immediately wanted to share the evenings experience with his best amigo in the states, he gets on the computer and is typing away.  Here is a sample of the text, "weeee had thee  mmush  fnnnnn        2niteeeeeeeeee "  ,etc at which point he fell out of the chair.  Now I have been around with Carl a lot, and have never seen him wasted, seriously and not that this is something to be truly proud of, but the man can drink with anyone and never have it affect him, that night or the next morning.  Well the cow has come home folks, I put him to bed and finished his e-mail to his friend, about 30 min. in all and he laid in bed and continued to laugh at himself the whole time.  I have never seen a drunk enjoy his own company as much as he did.  The next day we had a wonderful BBQ to go to, and needless to say our host was very preplexed to find something Carl wanted to drink.  Finally a simple Coca Cola con limon was the ticket.  We had a lot of "splain'n to do Lucy".  They all thought his Shufly story was wonderful, but could not believe he had  more than 2.  Something about it being a Bolivian law that you can't drink more that 2 Shuflies!!!
