Bus Strike

Bus drivers in Bogota are on strike.  As far as I can tell, they want more money from the government for retiring old buses and are upset that they will no longer be able to pick people up wherever they feel like picking them up.  According to the news, business has gone down 66% because shoppers don't feel like dealing with the traffic and employees can't get to work.

I am feeling a bit of cabin fever. I don't have the money to get around by taxi, and live about 15 blocks from the Transmilenio.  I miss my daily trips to Chapinero and the center...I can't quite remember why I moved out of my place in the center to begin with.  Oh well. Moving forward.
