Juices and Cultures
November 17, 2008 - Lima, Peru
First and foremost, I want to let everyone know that I will be back in the states on Dec 18. I'm going to be staying with my Grandparents in Ocean Reef for a bit and then returning to Roanoke (and at this point, I don't have the date set).

October 31, 2008 - Lima, Peru

A short walk...
