Latin America is in flux. Ortega .even if he is now a moderate, is hated by half his country, even tho the vote total (not a count of their numerous expats) looks like he has a mandate. Chavez is trying to reel in as many countries to his view, as he has the gas wealth. Bolivia's prez will be a disaster, imho, and Leonel, I have no idea what he will do next. It's a shame as I love the countries, cultures, and chicas, but they keep making life difficult for everyone.
