Gimbel. I love your blog. Keep it comin. Mileu.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious as to how using a hole in the ground is less hassle than using a toilet. But maybe you don't need to explain that.
ReplyDeleteYou're starting to forget English words! That's awesome! Now we get to hear more than.."hola chica" and "bien".
ReplyDeleteBrittany. I have news for you. I am going to Peru for Spring Break. Yup! I am going to Iquitos to work for the People of Peru project Feb. 26- March 7. The only way this will change is if I don't raise enough money in time. But I am PLANNING on it! So...I checked and you're in...Pucullpa...or something? That's not TOO far away from Iquitos...I think. SO I think that we should try to see each other! Please oh please!
Love you. Miss you. Milieu. All of it.
Way to go Native! It was great chatting with you tonight. Praying for you BG1.
ReplyDeleteI miss you. I'm glad you're getting Peruvianized. I miss you though.
ReplyDeleteHEY!!! I love it. The list will only grow longer :) Hope all is well down there. Just now found your blog... it's gonna make for great study breaks. Praying for all of you. Tell everybody hi for me.
