epilogue:

or ten things i learned while in south america:

1) murros means "walls." not "dead people."

2) peruvian/bolivan internet is s-l-o-w slow.

3) there is very little oxygen to go around at 4000m.

4) showers can be electric

5) americans are loud. (qualifier: i already knew this.)

6) it is perfectly acceptable for bolivian children to urinate whenever and where ever they chose.

7) alpaca is not only warm; it's tasty.

8) i love ice.

9) "i don't want to buy that from you" in spanish means: "please ask me again 20 times and, if necessary, follow me around for about a half an hour."

10) sometimes you have to pay to use the bathroom.

back on lovett st.

so ends the story of three friends; olivia, the kinetic spirit. arthur, the kind heart. and cade, the quiet observer, and their little trip to the southernmost of the american continents. they learned alot along the way. met an interesting assortment of characters. but when all is said and done, only they will be able to share in the true experiences that occured one week in february, in two mountainous countries, a world away from their own.
