Happy 2013

Went to the casino last night and before I could even sit down, I was given these. Well thanks Peru! 

New Year’s in Peru was super fun. Again, there were fireworks (and even as I write this I can hear fireworks) which is a custom I think the States should adopt. I bounced all over Arequipa last night. Casino, bar, club, house party, club, somebody’s roof, bar, backyard party, etc. It was wild to say the least. I’m glad I wore a tie because everyplace I went to had a different attire and I’ve always agreed that it’s better to be overdressed. After learning that it’s custom to eat 12 grapes before midnight for the New Year, I eagerly shared the States custom of kissing someone at midnight. We all had the similar facial expression of “Are you kidding me?" 

Goals for the new year: Read 30 books. Move to China. Accumulate $10,000 in savings. Buy my World Cup 2014 tickets. Don’t get anybody pregnant. Let’s do this 2013.
