Since I'm such a slacker at posting regular blogs, you're going to get the scoop on most of what's been going on in one heaping mega blog.

Two weeks ago, Megan and I visited a friends house, Mauricio, for the first time to see his currency collection. I know, I know...it sounds kind of like Bert saying to Ernie, "Come check out my paper clip collection!" but it was actually really cool. Mauricio literally has currency from EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY in the entire world. He has money from Germany when it was still divided into East/West sides. He has money from Iraq with Saddam's face and the new currency without it. He has money from countries that don't even exist anymore. It took us about 2 hours to go through his entire collection; it was like taking a world tour in warp speed. He even gave us a few bills that he had doubles of to start our own collection. Check out this Iraqi dinar:



One of our guilty pleasures down here is watching The Amazing Race and Survivor every Wednesday and Thursday, and man, we are SO glad that team MoJo got eliminated last episode on Amazing Race. Does anyone else out there watch this show? Tonight we've got a date with Survivor to see who's going to make it down to the last three, and of course the claws are going to come out. There's something great about being able to watch the stupidity and drama that people get themselves into without actually having to be a part of it. Agree?

In other news, Megan is still trying to conquer her mystery cold. It went away last week for a while, and this week has returned for round 2. She went to a doctor two days ago who said it is probably allergy related and wrote her a few prescriptions. She's feeling a little better today, but thankfully the weekend is almost here which should give her more time to rest and recuperate. Pray that she's feeling better by Monday if you think of it. Hasta luego!
