No school today - and it's not a snow day


Woke up today, went to school like normal at 7 (actually I was running late so 7:15). School starts at 730, but today there were only 5 teachers at school, instead of the normal 18 or so. Another bloqeo (road block, truckers on strike) popped up, between my village and 2 towns away, Pailas. So that's at least 5-10 miles of trucks. All our teachers that live anywhere far away from the village couldn't make it in, so school was cancelled. Me and two other teachers walked a mile or so to see the edge of the bloceo. Not as bad as it could be, there was one lane up right there. But in some spots further down it was completely blocked up. Bolivia!
