We had a two hour training session tonight with the whole team but we spent most of the day figuring out what was wrong with the sound system. Cable unplugged, speaker cone not working, other cable connection falling apart. Then the mind was blown with a 5 string fretless bass with neon orange plastic strings with a pre-amp battery that falls out unless the bass isĀ held tight against your tummy. This bass has fret marking but you don’t put your finger on the lines but only in the middle of the lines which makes the lines a bit of a mystery. Much to learn have I.

Taylor explains the Peruvian version of “french fries.”  These are local potatoes dipped in several types of sauces. Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonnaise, Olive Sauce (pink), Parsley/Cilantro Type sauce (lighter green), and Tomatillo type (darker green).  The same rules apply – no double dipping.

We went to the grocery store, which is always interesting to see the differences between parts of the U.S., but throw in another country and it’s just funny. So this is a take and bake pizza taped to a bottle of Peruvian soda called “Inca Cola” all for about $5 U.S. I especially thought the label of “Pizza Americana” to be a presumptuous but probably accurate statements about our eating habits.
