The Minister of Latin American Affairs called the office today from Hartsfield International in Atlanta. He was changing planes enroute to Argentina for a conference starting this week. With turmoil erupting in Venezuela, and the economy on the verge of implosion in Argentina, it is only fitting that he is on his way south.
While hard to keep tabs on our globetrotting minister, it's comfort that he's on the leading edge of global topics/geopolitics. While the Ukraine has been capturing all the headlines this week, Venezuela is not far behind. With Afghanistan and Iraq seething with unrest and actual conflict, Latin America has not been front page news. It could easily become so with just a little push from the multitudes who desire a change in the government of Mr. Moduro, Chavez replacement puppet.
After Buenos Aires, it will be off to Paraguay and its capitol, Asuncion'. He will need a rest when he returns to the DC area, but I'm confident it will be a good trip. Lots of insight will come from it.
more later.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
