Car Crash!

Hello Everyone, I apologize for not posting this past Monday. I remembered to post yesterday, but then never got around to it, oops!

Well, from the title of this entry, it's true, I got into a car crash this morning on my way to work. I was in a taxi/truffi (Number 101 to be exact). After a short 6 minutes in the taxi, a the taxi drivers slams into the car in front of him. I didn't see how it happened b/c i was too busy writing a text message. The car was moving at a decent speed, around 35mph, and the taxi definitely did not feel like it was slowing down so when we hit the car, my whole body lunged forward and then snapped back. I'm perfectly fine, a little whiplash, but nothing serious.

So 2 minutes later, in a very typical Bolivian fashion, I stepped out of the taxi (as soon as we pulled to the side of the road), didn't pay my taxi fee (I didn't feel he deserved my 1,5bs b/c I could've died) and jumped in another taxi/truffi #101. I arrived to my carpool spot just in time and avoided having to pay another taxi/truffi to drop me off two blocks away from my building.

So, thanks to those of you who prayed for me today, I was saved! yipee!

On other news, the post office is back open and so I dropped off your (some of yous) postcards and they should be arriving at your doors in a few weeks!

p.s. Nate called me the other day and besides having had bacteria lurking in his stomach the entire time he's been in Cuzco, he's great! Kudos to him for calling me! Carry on!
