I am currently reading Barbara Kingsolver’s “The Lacuna”. In the book, the main character is working for Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, when Kahlo and Rivera take in Leon Trotsky (the hottest Russian Revolutionary). The main character is allowed to keep a historical log of the events that occur during the visit of Trotsky, however, he is “to harbor no opinions, confessions, or fictions.” Throughout the log, he often states things that are somewhat opinionated, and then make a statement that this is a mere observation, and therefore a fact. Much like the main character in the book, I will try to make this blog about facts… and try not to opinionated or fictionalize my recordings. However, if an opinion does present itself, I would like you to know that…this is not an official State Department website. The views and information presented are of my own and do not represent the Fulbright Program, the Boren Program, or the State Department.
