I just got back from a trip to Peru. Travel is really a great way to get perspective on things.

How are people supposed to know things like what size the stickers will be?? <br /><br />I'm looking forward to anything you write about Vietnam. It has such a painful place in the collective North American memory; I would find it quite moving to be there. Our son-in-law's mother was Vietnamese; she grew up during the war and had to deal with the after-effects of near-starvation. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-13123882723360914782018-07-21T17:47:14.907+01:002018-07-21T17:47:14.907+01:00Wow, that was an anxious moment.
