Just wanted to let people know that I changed our filter that keeps spam out of the comments. I doubt anyone has noticed, but one of our posts in particular (the last installment of cat blogging) was attracting spam comments, which I was then deleting (unless anybody needs more information about Cialis?). The little pictures [...]

Why Cuba is exporting health care to the US
An Alternet article with more details about the Cuban medical schools we mentioned earlier. There are no sources to back up the alledged high quality of Cuban health care, but the part about them training doctors from all parts of the world is certainly true.

Since we’ve had some downtime here, we’ve taken the opportunity to get caught up and make some improvements (we think) to the blog:

We thought while we had a moment in La Paz, we’d write a little post giving you an idea of what our days are like. We’ve kind of gotten into a routine on our biking days that seems to be working for us so far. As you might imagine, when we’re on the bike, most [...]

Latin America: The End of an Era
This is a long article, but gives an interesting perspective on recent political and financial developments in Latin America. I found the article linked from this post by the same author at The Huffington Post about the possibility of Ecuador defaulting on its foreign debt, a la Argentina (which [...]
