Day 31

Good Advice that I got from a taxi driver in Salvador about my deaf ear:

If you have ear problems, warm the breast milk of a mother with twins and dribble it into the problematic ear.

.....noted..... the same taxi driver also gave me a branch with many leaves still attached and said to boil the leaves into a tea to cure any indigestion problem that may occur. The entire trip, I had no stomach issues until i touched that stupid plant and then for the next day, i really wasnt feeling up to taking over the world so much.....

DAY 31:

tasty balls

1. Margaret and I slept in the Rio airport before heading to Lima Peru. I woke up around 4am and went to get 2 cups of cafè, a pizza pocket type thing for me and 2 balls of fluffy fried bread for Margaret (shes a vegetarian). I walked back to our camping spot right in front of the airport check in stand and woke maggie up by handing her two fresh baked balls and some coffee. shes really the only person i know that could handle such an epic wake-up call.

2. Whats the point of soap dispensers if there isn`t any soap to dispense??

3. We flew over Titi Caca Lake which is between Bolivia and Peru. It was beautiful!

4. Thank the Lord for airlines such as Taka who give you free alcoholic beverages all flight long!!

5. Sat at the Lima, Peru airport for 12 hours and drank beer after beer after beer after beer after beer, etc. 16 total to be exact.....

6. Taka airlines also gave me free crayons

7. I learned that i am subconsciously obsessed with the color green... and bulky touristy hiking boots annoy me.

8. A 4 year old Peruvian boy came and sat at out table during our beer meeting and wanted to get in on my Taka colored crayons. He said his name was Diego and that Michael Jackson had a black jacket and wore a star on his head.

9. Margaret and I are cooler than most people. (is that being humble?)

10.

Im not picky, I just know what I like.

11. I hit 3 countries in 2 days. Now, Lets talk about SUCCESS.

12. The guy behind me in the airport had a baby upside down in a shopping bag. This is clearly a culture difference.

13. I spilled the salt shaker 9 beers into the beer meeting and Margaret freaked out and had a minor panic attack. She made me throw salt over my left shoulder while at the same time, wiping the spilled salt off the table.

14. This is our poem to Paula and Fransisco from Recife Brasil:

There once were 2 girls on a quest,
they put their portugese to the test
they went to brasil and drank cachaça until
they found Chico and Paula the best.

The 4 of them had a great time
with Pitù, sugar, and green limes
Chiclete and Skol and eating crab in the sol
And we even committed a crime

Brasilian primas- thank you so much
and we better all keep in touch
we`ll see you soon
dancing under the moon
at your wedding, carnival and the such.


Goodbye Brasil!
Hello ECUADOR!
