The Texas cowbow-turned-El Chalan, APEC Leaders' Summit, Nov. 23, 2008; photo c, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription us. Jorge Vera

It was 4 p.m. on the final day of the APEC Summit, and most of the leaders and the journalists had left the Minstry of Defense building where the summit had been held, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription.

El Fotógrafo and I were huddled in a cubicle in the International Media Center, trying to identify which Asian leader was which in a photo EF had taken earlier that afternoon.

"Is that the president of Thailand. No, Vietnam?" We kept checking with a list of published photos of the leaders, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription paypal, most of which appeared to have been taken when the leaders were younger and had more hair.

In the background a television broadcast a late-afternoon press meeting with the president of Singapore. 

"Mr. Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, President," one journalist in the audience asked. "What do you think of the anti-pirating measure being proposed?"

"Oh, yes, pirating is a big problem," said the president. "Groups of pirates are taking over ships and stealing the oil. This has got to stop."

"No, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription usa, excuse me, I mean -- the problem with intellectual property infringement," said the journalist.

"Oh, yes," said the leader quickly, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription overseas, not losing a beat, "We have got to ensure that property rights are respected worldwide."

And so it went that afternoon.

That I was at the APEC Summit and filing a story from the Media Center was an unlikely event, from my perspective, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription. I had been contacted by a U.S. paper two days prior to be on "standby" for the meetings in case they needed some "local color."

I also was supposed to follow President Bush around and watch for something interesting to happen.

Perhaps the idea the editors had in mind was Bush calling the APEC "OPEC," as he did last year in Sydney, or Bush calling Alan Garcia "gordo" or Bush getting feisty with the president of Russia.

As it turned out, 40mg Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, I never did manage to be anywhere near George W. Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, Bush during the two days I was at the Little Pentagon.  Like other summits with world leaders, the APEC was highly orchestrated and designed to frustrate both potential terrorists and journalists interested in asking serious questions of the outgoing U.S. president.

I sensed this in advance, of course, but still I hoped that some strange confluence of events (these things happen in Peru) would put me & W together for an impromptu interview op -- say, in a stairwell by one of Fujimori's former torture chambers (the APEC summit was held in the very building where Fuji's men used to grill and torture suspected Shining Path members). 750mg Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, Alas, my interview chance never materialized.

EF had better luck than I did. He was admitted to a pool of photographers who shot the official APEC leaders portrait, which took place around noon on Sunday, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription.

By that time, I think W had had enough of Peru. The night before, the organizers of a gala dinner had plied him and other leaders with pisco sours and liquors made of lucuma, chirimoya and pisco.  For a guy who's supposedly on the wagon, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription india, that's a triple challenge to the willpower center.

So W was looking a little peaked by noon on Sunday, but kind of pleased to be twirling around in an alpaca  poncho, and EF got some interesting shots of him, some of which deserve satiric captions.

Where was I while this was happening. Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, I and 40 other reporters were being held in a very hot and stuffy waiting area, prior to undergoing yet another security check (take off belt, shoes, laptop, etc.) before entering the summit auditorium. 200mg Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, We stood there with our heavy gear in a plastic-enclosed corridor for more than an hour and then we were finally admitted.

As I took my seat on the balcony of the auditorium, a guard told me, "No journalists are permitted here." I can't think of a stranger thing to say to a journalist you're escorting to a media event.

I caught the last two minutes of a speech by the "Say No to Pirates" president of Singapore. Then it was all over.

Bush had ditched the event after the official photo session and gone straight to the airport, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription.

It was a strenous two days of Not Trailing Bush. On Saturday afternoon I stood for an hour and a half on a plaza waiting for the US president, Colchicine From Canada No Prescription australia, only to catch from the corner of my eye the sight of his motorcade leaving from a far gate. He had eluded the press again.

I would have liked to have asked Mr. Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, Bush many questions. I would have liked to have asked what he thought of unfettered free trade now that the US economy is tanking and the global economy along with it. I would have liked to have asked him about Iraq and Guatanamo and the erosion of rights in the United States. I would have liked to have asked how he thought History would judge his presidency.

But none of that was possible.

I did manage to speak to one very important person. 500mg Colchicine From Canada No Prescription, though. Hector is a farmer from Tarma who grows potatoes. He stood around in the journalists' cafeteria next to an elaborate display of native Peruvian potato varieties and handed out samples of LAYS ANDINO potato chips during the weekend.

Hector was dressed in a felt cap, with an Andean-fabric satchel wrapped around his shoulders for toting his potatoes to market. He was small and low key and about as close to an authentic Peruvian as most of the foreign journalists would get.

It was hard for a journalist to get face time with the politicos at APEC but Hector and 100 varieties of papas were there to photograph and interview to our hearts' content.
