Hi everyone, I love the outpost..... your stories are very meaningful to me....
I skiied yesterday and my face is a mess!! Too cold, I'm blotchy and a tad frostbit. Hope we start receiving the snow from the lower 48.
Just home from Peru, sat and watched Jen's The Story of Stuff, gosh if that didn't hit home after walking through markets there. No packaging, it's a bit rude to come home to the christmas fiasco we perform here every year. It was very minimal there.
I just assisted with about 75 surgeries in northern peru and then went south to Cusco and hiked along the inca trail, and went to Macchu Pichu. A little altitude sick at first, but then fine. 12,000 is a little high! My husband accused me of blood doping, as I was a little less winded skiing yesterday than normal.
Love to read your stories...... if you have a moment, visit my Peru pictures! They are the home of the potato! Over 600 varieties....... jo

In the really frigid weather he would don the ole ski mask. I told him not to stop at any convenience stores on the way : ) JoAnn
