First, we're coming home to visit for 5 weeks! We get to West Virginia Tuesday, June 1. My requests are... watching a movie with my mom in the morning in pajamas, lots of McDonalds iced coffees, a Sunday afternoon congregation picnic with volleyball and hot dogs, Loomis family pizza night, tacos and double cheese delight and spaghetti from my mom, meeting my nephew (please don't think bad of me for not saying that before all the food I want), a convention in English, and sitting in the woods absorbing nature.

So the government of the Cajamarca region has apparently made some new regulations so that the combis are safer, and it's inconvenient to the combis, so they went on strike last Wednesday. When they strike there are no combis, some roads are closed and there's always some violence against other kinds of transportation. Well they didn't get what they wanted so May 26th they begin an indefinitely lasting strike, until they get what they want. Ah South America. As if it's not hard enough to get anything done around here.
