I haven't really chewed gum for years and years (my jaw clicks, so I don't wanna aggravate it) so maybe that's why I'm iffy about the taste. I felt like a total dumbbell on vacation because everybody else was giggling and like, "Wait til you TRY IT" like it was a big joke, and then I tasted it and was still confused.
There's supposed to be a hispanic grocery downtown that carries Inca Kola, so maybe when I'm back at work on Monday I'll walk down to Pike Place. Though I'm sort of betting Gus will laugh and but then refuse to drink it. I think there's some stuff that's only fun while you're on vacation.
I once claimed to have Peruvian Box Death (in my family we invent weird illneses) so maybe you have that. Unfortunaltely at that time my mom countered with her African Creeping Crud.
Good to know you and your bank account survived the trip. Now relax really hard!
I generally need a vacation after our vacations (I come home ill about half the time). It's a *lot* easier to be sick if all I have to do is sit and watch junk TV and not get up at 4:30 am so I can catch a plane to take me to a bus to take me to *another* plane.
Houston customs and immigration was perfect: very fast and actually *polite*.
It was the security check that nearly made me miss my plane. And after crawling up to the head of the line at the pace of a snail on downers, I suddenly was gonna get cut off by a bunch of doddering bozos they funneled in through the "priority" line. What really rankled was that this security was after TWO DIFFERENT security checks at the Lima airport: one at the main terminal and an additional one at the gate.
*HUGS* - I hope you feel better soon. My son had the coughs, on the way over which wouldn't go away till after a week and a half a bottle of cherry cough syrup, store-bought over the counter stuff in Hyde. Still it did the trick.
But still seeing those Nazca Lines. That really is cool!
And uhmm alpaca pizza. The thought has never crossed my mind as meat for consumption. It is best I keep this from the children. On the night before we left we went out for a family dinner at a slight upmarket pub, and my mother in law opted for rabbit stew. My son was devastated to find out that Granny was eating rabbit! They'll be old enough to deal with it soon.
Don't tell your son: I like eating cute little rabbits too. :D
It's sort of a great tradition for me to get deathly ill the last couple days of a trip, and I've found employers REALLY hate you taking sick leave after a vacation, even if you're, you know, SICK. I'm hoping if I force feed myself tea this weekend I'll feel better for Monday morning. I'm grateful I decided to leave early, because it wouldn't have been fun hanging around a convention sick. From what I can tell, those guys programmed the convention for 12-hour days, which sounds exhausting!! Gus loves that kind of thing, but I'm wondering if he's going to end up getting sick as well....

Yeah, they sell Inca Cola here, too. Tony loves the stuff. I don't chew Juicy Fruit gum in the first place, so I pass on it.

I don't actually find it tastes much like gum.
There was also an awesome beer, Cusquena Negro.

To me, that stuff tastes exactly like Juicy Fruit gum. I think it's the artificial banana flavoring they use.

...ok that doesn't quite work. Houston customs aren't that bad, usually you can pretty much sail through. Well, I guess it depends on the timing...
