I have just tried to get through to Andres, by telephone, but it seems the lines into there are not working right or are overtaxed. I've tried going through two different long distance companies and each time I get the weird rapid busy signal. I will keep trying over the next few days and will also get a letter off to him, though that seems so slooooow.

After seeing today's news, I've been very concerned. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.
