Its the getting towards the end of the rainy season in Bolivia and if you have been following the news from South America lately, you will have noted that both Peru and Bolivia have had serious issues with flooding and mudslides. Bolivian president Evo Morales has declared a state of emergency due to the massive amounts of rain that has been coming down over the last week.
Santa Cruz has been the heart of the rainfall over the last few days and it has caused a fair amount of problems for the poor sections of town and especially for the homeless people. They have taken shelter wherever they can that is dry and some have managed to get their hands on tarps one way or another to stay dry. Here are a couple of pictures from the area.
