Another exciting day!  Carl was on his way to school this morning, around 6:30 and oooops - road blocks on every road.  It was not the gov., but truck drivers and bus drivers protesting the price of gas.  You don't dare cross any protest lines here, they may throw rocks or have nails on the road so you ruin your tires.  Not one to be told he can't go somewhere, he drove up the mountain and around who knows where,  came down the mountain into the school compound from the back side.  Good thing he has a 4 wheel drive vehicle!

Anyway, they had to cancel school .  As one of the teachers pointed out, most schools have snow days or bad weather days, but here we have riot days!  

Life in South American is always interesting!
