That´s right! For a limited time only, email us your snail mail address and you will get a special personalized postcard! We don´t have any addresses with us, so if you want a postcard, we need an email! And don´t think ¨Oh, they don´t really want to send ME a postcard...¨ Yes we do! The trick is, that we are going to see who is more popular. So if you like Rachel better, email her at rachelf"at"gmail.com and if you like me better, email me at benjieumn"at"gmail.com or lifeisgood"at"gmail.com And yes, I am cheating by having twice as many email addresses.
We are heading to Vilcabamba tomorrow, so your postcards will probably come from there, and it looks like it will be beautiful, so you are in luck!
Vilcabamba is known as the ¨Valley of the centurions,¨ because a huge percentage of its residents live to be over 100 years old, with many living to 110, 120, or even 130 years old! (or so they say) We are hoping that by spending a week there we will add a day or two to the length of our lives. They say it has something to do with the diet and exercise, but I´ve figured it out! Everyone walks and moves so slowly down here, I think they just don´t get around to dying until then!
Oh, a special congratulations to Rachel, who just got her score from the psychology GRE and did AMAZING. Especially amazing considering she didn´t sleep at all the night before the test!
Today´s activity? We are going to a planetarium to learn about the stars of the southern sky, and then off to a museum of some sort.
Miss you all,
-B
P.S. Seriously, send me (us) your addresses!
Send us your tired, your weary, your addresses!

We're enjoying your travel diary and are sending Rachel our email because we have known her for longer (no offense Benjie). Keep having fun! Love Sarene

I am not sure of my address myself as I have moved to Korea to teach English for a year. I am taking a break from politics until 2008. I wish I lived in that valley. I walk around slowly all the time because I am daydreaming.

Hey guys--As I told Rachel, your postcard campaign shows your enormous talent for drumming up enthusiasm. A postcard from you has become the hottest commodity around! Very impressive!
Lots of love, Mom/Debra
