Lima votes tomorrow


Lima is at a crossroads.  Tomorrow they vote on whether or not to keep their current mayor.  Click here to get some info if you're interested.  The city is divided between "el Si" ("yes"to ousting her) and "el No" ("no" to ousting her).  The streets are lined with posters and banners.  Everyone has a strong opinion, there is much gossip whirling through the air, and there have been some heated demonstrations in the streets.  In my personal opinion, she's not perfect, but I have seen her do good, and I hope she'll stay to finish her term.  She has disturbed the status quo, but isn't that how progress happens?
