Whoah Nellie!
Cool flower! I looked it up and it's the largest bromeliad. Bromeliads are also those bright flowers that grow on branches without needing soil in the jungles. Alex is out sledding tonight. He jumped through the snow this morning in his moccasins that he wears without socks. It was 20 degrees this morning and he only had on a hoodie! Mom-mom went skiing this morning in our new snow. Keep up the good work. Love, Aunt Carol

Quite an education!
Hi Megan! Glad that you are taking advantage of your time in S America. After all that adventure will you be able to sit still again when you get back to Wis? Yes, we have plenty of snow, and it is getting colder again. Luckily I can mostly stay inside and sew, as I don't like cold weather either! Miss you! Look forward to your being safely home in WI again! Love, Grandma and Grandpa

What a great summer break!
Megan: Thanks for the colorful descriptions of life as you know it during the summer break of your amazing South American study year. We always enjoy reading of your latest and greatest adventures, and wonder how you will top the previous with your latest tests of strength and mettle. Hmmm...you've succeeded so far! 'Glad the FINCA clients will have a good listener like you to hear and share their true stories of struggle and triumph. How many miles do you think you have traveled since you left WI in August? You are quite the explorer! God bless all that's ahead. We love you, A. Jean and U. John P.S. Our big trip south is to A. Jean's cousin's US Air Force retirement in early March in Florida. 'Might be 60 degrees F there! Megan - How are you ever going to be satisfied with a quiet day in Bear Valley?

Hi Megan! Was so special that your Mom and Dad and Andrew were able to come and spend Christmas with you. We had a very nice Christmas at David and Kathleen's. Met Maria's new boyfriend, Dave. Your Dad just sent pictures from their trip to see you. very nice. So nice that you could give "your family" a new roof. Sorry I couldn't send you any jelly, but it will be here for you when you return. Love, Grandma and Grandpa

Wonderful Trek
Hi Megan, You really had your ups and downs. Thanks for the good account and all of the pictures. How are the blisters and muscles? That's lots of climbing but you look good in your picture at the end. Lucky old flat Stanley got all the way down and back up. Keep on trekking. Love, Mom-mom

Proud of you, Megan!
Hi Megan, Of course we are always proud of you!But glad to see you making the most of your year in Peru! We spent today in La Crosse, visiting Allergy Associates, then spending time at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadulupe near La Crosse on our way home. It is really beautiful and inspiring. Friends from Richland Center were also there, to our surprise. Hope you will make the pilgrimage there some day! Love ya honey! Grandma

Whoa
SO intense! Congrats for making it the whole way. I totally know what you mean about the different concept of time. It's the same way here. Sometimes Mass on Sunday begins at 7:30, sometimes 8:30, you never know. Jack and I were told that it was at 8 so we arrived early, arrived late, and finally decided we should forget about our watches and just follow the bells. So far that's been working out pretty well. Miss you! Andrea

Does guinea pig really taste like chicken?
Hey Megan, Glad to see you are loving life in Peru. Lots of fun so far and you've only been there just over a month! Drew is curious as to whether or not you've committed the unforgivable sin yet? You know what he's talking about. We're looking forward to reading about more of your adventures.
