With any great plan comes bumps in the road. Sometimes they are easy to navigate around, but other times you have to stop and recalculate your route. It's a hard lesson to learn, and one that doesn't necessarily get easier as you get older.
I was supposed to be in Argentina a week from today, but that's not going to happen. Because there have been a series of teachers' strikes in the province of Argentina that I was to visit, schools have not yet opened for the year. If there are no schools in session, a teachers' exchange cannot occur. Add to that the instability reported from the strikes and IREX has decided that I should not be going.
I can't debate the logic, but that doesn't help the disappointment!
The plan right now is to wait and see what the situation is at the beginning of June. Hopefully, I can travel then. If that is not possible, they will look into sending me someplace else. I just hope things settle quickly in JuJuy, and the trip can be rescheduled soon.
