My Doggie
Lost in the hectic week prior to Saturday night’s upcoming trip to Bolivia is the fact that I’ll soon be reunited with my dog, Sasha. More than four years old, it is hard to believe that it has been a year since I last said my latest farewell to her.
There’s a reason why she’s remained in Cochabamba, and that is because she is so content in her surroundings. Treated like a queen compared to other dogs in Bolivia, I even feel guilty that she often gets better food and medical care than some poor human beings.
Instead of being holed-up in a small patio in the city, she has wide green spaces to frolic and guard my parents’ house on the outskirts of Cochabamba. Many have asked me whether I ever thought of bringing her back to the United States with me, and yes, I had thought about it. However, it wouldn’t be fair to her. Life in the United States, with long commutes and small dinky apartments would seem like a demotion.
She even has her own homepage, which is still being constructed. Although she is a slow learner with html.

My wife is bolivian, and I have desperately been looking for a place to order Saltenas (Beef preferably0 and have them sent to me in New York. When we came back from Bolivia we ordered saltenas from Castores and took them back, they were obviously not as good, but still brought a smile to my wife's face. If you know of any place that delivers saltenas I would be very grateful.

I am Bolivian, my wife is German, and she has made authentic Bolivian empanadas potosino style for 20 years. We live in upstate NY. We are in the beginnings to set up an online ordering business, which is just getting off the ground.
As soon as we have a presence online , we will be glad to let you know.
