a few observations

Some things that are on my mind:

1. I´m pretty sure that it´s impossible to finish a roll of mentos without them popping out the other end.
2. In Lima, people on the street begging or selling small snacks are legitimately overjoyed whenever you give them some leftovers or extra food. They look at you like it made their day.
3. Along the same lines, there are a lot of really nice people here that are very welcoming to a stranger like me.
4. Soup made with chicken feet isn´t that bad. There will be more on this later.
5. Saw the sun briefly today and I´m looking forward to the next time.
6. I´m also looking forward to September 5th, the start of the Hokies season/national championship campaign. Go hokies!
7. Making friends with the vegetable guy and chicken lady makes me happy.
