Today is a day of photos and other odds and ends. Enjoy.

| Gringo Sandwich! (Only posing. Didn't ride it.) |
I’m psyched to be heading back to the
US for the holidays in just over two weeks. I’ll be moving up and down the eastern seaboard seeing
family, friends, and Kelly, but unfortunately won’t be making it back to Iowa
for this trip. I’ve lived away
from home for the last 7 years and am used to not seeing family regularly. Still, it hadn’t quite prepared me to go
almost a year and a half without seeing them. It’s gonna be awesome. Until then, I’ll be here chugging along with work and other
shenanigans.

I just took the GMAT (business school entrance exam) last
week in Lima. No longer studying
for that, I’ve got some time freed up and am setting my sites on learning
guitar. Bought a cheap, piece of
crap guitar and some new strings.
We’ll see if I can make it sing.

| "Get your lettuce!" |
What else have I been up to lately? I helped disinfect a water reservoir. I hit up the town market with some students to sell organic lettuce from their school's vegetable garden. I pushed a trash/recycling project that I'm trying to get off the ground to the local government. I killed the godforsaken ants that had stormed my room. I read Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Lauren Hillenbrand, the author of Seabiscuit. (Hell of a story that follows Louis Zamperini, an American Olympic long distance runner and bombardier in WWII. Check it out if you're looking for a page turner.)
