   People recover belongings after a landslide, triggered by heavy rains,
   destroyed  around 100 houses at the Valle de Flores neighborhood in La
   Paz, Bolivia, February 27, 2011

   Officials  in  Bolivia say heavy rains in the capital have resulted in
   mudslides, destroying at least 250 homes.
   Government  officials  say  the  mudslides that began Saturday are the
   worst La Paz has ever experienced.
   Mayor  Luis  Revilla  says there have been no reports of fatalities in
   the landslides that have affected mostly poor neighborhoods.
   Authorities  say landslides are likely to continue as more rain-soaked
   hillsides give way.
