Well...we are on strike. At least the city of Pucallpa is. Citizens here are protesting high taxes and other things with an organized "huelga." Stores are shut down except during truce hours from 4am-8am. Protestors have roads blocked so if you are out driving, your tires may be punctured. And four or five times a day, long lines of motos drive by honking and waving their protest flags. As long as you act smart and play by the rules of the huelga, there really isn't any problem. We stocked our freezer last week when we received warning this was coming and have just stayed in. But we worry for most people here who live day to day and can't stock a freezer or get out to work to earn money for their daily groceries.
School is taking place via the internet. We have been emailing assignments to our kids. These two ladies live on the base with their teacher. So since I miss being in the classroom, and here they are, school is in my dining room this week.
