Rice and Potatoes

Alex after returning back to her site after reconnect had become completely and utterly disgusted at the though of eating any more rice and potatoes. I think her exact words were: “If I even look at rice and potatoes, it makes me want to vomit”.

Well, Alex lost her cell phone and PC was sending her new SIM card through the mail to Cajamarca. She asked if Ari and I could pick it up for her and send it with the collectivos that go to Cochan (her site) so she could get it with out having to go to the city. Of course, we said, anything to help out a friend. (ha ha ha….)

That same day Tiffany had gotten some super huge meal for lunch and of course couldn’t finish it all so left the massive pile of rice and potatoes. We had been contemplating what to get Alex for Christmas when all of a sudden it came to us. “Let’s send her a bolsita (baggie) full of the left over rice and potatoes with her SIM card!” Genius.

So we got the SIM card, put it in an envelop with the R&P and sent it on its way. We were afraid it might not get there because someone in the collectivo might smell the R&P through the bag and get excited and open it up and eat it. But fortunately it made it there and when Alex had her SIM card back and working she called us to thank us for her present. She failed to mention though if the site of it made her vomit.
