Sorry for the big gap between blogs. I haven’t really felt like blogging much lately although I have no idea why. We are in Lima for a meeting right now. We figured out we have flown into or out of the Lima airport 10 times since we got to South America in July.

A Boatload of Bananas
Posted in Uncategorized on April 22, 2008 | 4 Comments »
The other day, Trent took a walk in the market that is right outside of the apartment where we are staying, and he decided to buy some bananas. “How much?” he asked the lady. “Two Bolivianos,” she said, which is about 34 cents (Bolivianos is the currency here). “Give me 5 Bolivianos worth, then,” [...]
