My roommate and I went out to buy soap and laundry detergent today. It comes in bags here. They have a few different scents than we're used to in the US, so after a few minutes of debate, we both agreed that we would prefer our clothes not to smell like limes.Yesterday we went on a big ol' excursion and saw some more of Merida that I had yet to visit. It wasn't too bad at all. We topped it off with a visit to an ice cream parlor which has the "Record Guinness" for having the most flavors. We all got some weird flavors, but I thought that they had a pretty tasty rum and raisin - With REAL RAISINS!
These are my notebooks for school. Cool, huh? I thought so. In case you can't tell, they've got big honkin' jeeps on them. On the windshield, each jeep says "Big Fun Race 4 x 4." Isn't that great?! The background is my bedspread, just in case you're keeping track at home.
All kick ass notebooks aside, we went to a grand cathedral the other day, near the big plaza here, Plaza Bolivar. Since I didn't remember to bring my camera, I promised myself I'd take pictures of it before I return home. Outside of the church, there were two mimes. Sort of living statue kind of guys, one was a ninja, the other a saint dressed in white.
Anyhow, a kid slips the ninja a few Bolivares, and the mime goes in for a handshake and a fist pound. The kid takes the handshake, but turns around and runs back to his mom before the ninja gets to the fist pound. Meanwhile, Emily (a chica from U of M) aturns to me and says... "You never leave a mime hangin'; that's rule number one."

Hey bro! Thanks for all the great stories! They are very fun to read! I tried to call you back on your cell number, but it told me that I had dialed the wrong number. I even looked up the country code (which is 58). So, if you have anyone successfully call you, you should fill me in on how to do it. Thanks for the bday wishes! We missed you at our party, but know you're having a great time! We love you lots! Good luck with classes!
