I can't help ya with the non fiction stuff but interesting to know about Lima. My fiancé's family is from Peru and we love this local Peruvian restaurant here in Austin TX that is owned by a family from Lima

I personally think its a program of the brain. At least for me anyway. Growing up I used to read mostly in bed at night and when ready for sleep I would turn the TV on to fall asleep to. Now as an adult I don't sleep as well unless the TV is on. Literally last night this happened. I fell asleep on t...

I love German. There is so much good and bad to their history (and the bad is so bad they can't hide it) I love the mixture. It shows that people are both and can't be labeled as one thing. I also adore European, more specifically English, because of the medieval background is so rich (and what litt...

I really can't help but I am extremely intrigued as to what some of these rules are. Are they similar to our 1950's home standards? Maybe in putting it to paper (or text on a screen) you could almost write your own book for her?

Posted on the front doors and at every station there is a sign that says we request all hats, headwear, and sunglasses ...

I'm not on my desktop anymore so it's hard to read this but I apologize for saying you said certain things that you did not. I will fix that tomorrow on the computer.
