Peso Millionaires: October 2010
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Morning of Day Three. Monday, October 25, 2010. Are we there yet? I'm probably not the best person in the world to hike with because I always want to know how much further we have to hike. Luckily, we hiked with a guide, and he always answered my questions. "One hour, maybe two," he'd say. "Slowly, slowly.". Day two, again, was up, up up. But this time we were rewarded with views of the mountains. And our guide said, "Ghorepani," I said, "Oh! The warm shower or the cold beer?

Peso Millionaires: April 2011
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. I plan on getting the rest of this vacation chronicled, but right now I have some exciting news. Guess who's coming to our house tonight? The World-Cup-winning Indian Cricket Team? The World's Most Beautiful Woman, Aishwarya Rai? No again. I guess this news isn't really as exciting as I thought. The packers are coming, that's who. Not THE Packers, just the packers. The ones who are taking are stuff and sending it to Iowa. It's really happening, people! Thursday, April 21, 2011.

Peso Millionaires: packed
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011/06/packed.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. How to pack up your house:. 1 Call the packers to arrange a time for them to come. 2 Open the door. 3 Take a nap. Getting our house packed was the easiest thing ever, for me. For the packers, it was a little more strenuous, it took them nearly seven hours to wrap, pack, arrange and haul our 26 boxes out of the house and into a moving van. What's really incredible to me is that we came here with six suitcases! In the meantime, our house is EMPTY! June 8, 2011 at 10:45 AM. It sounds ...

Peso Millionaires: results
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011/05/results.html
Friday, May 27, 2011. Well, the results are in, and it looks like you've chosen to keep reading this thing. Most of you that is. One person voted for me to knock it off, and I just want to know WHO? Who exactly, is making you read this blog? You don't have to read this. Tell that. Person to knock it off, "Hey! Stop making me read this blog. I hate it." That's what you should do. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? He thundered. "How much did you just spend? But you know, I've been living the life of a monk these last fo...

Peso Millionaires: amazing race
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011/05/amazing-race.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. I’m in a weird place right now, mentally. I remember how excited (and really, really worried and nervous) we were to come to India. And now, with a month left (less! In India, which will most likely be my last time ever in this country (INDIA=I’ll Never Do It Again), I’m torn between enjoying our last days here and just waiting for it to all be over, finally. What’s wrong with me? People plan and save for years for a trip to India, and here we are wasting it! Anyway, I’ve said...

Peso Millionaires: January 2011
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. It used to take me less than an hour and a half to get home from college. Door to door. But such is life when you share the road with 1.2 billion people. I've been managing the frustration of sitting in traffic by taking pictures. I like how this camera setting makes things look like a watercolor. Peaceful, right? In this first one you can see that the lady in the back is riding her motorcycle side-saddle, with a stocking-capped baby in her arms. Sunday, January 16, 2011.

Peso Millionaires: November 2010
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. I'm about as grumpy as I can be about having to work on Thanksgiving. And by work, I don't mean teaching funny little 8th graders, I mean spending a whole day in meetings with other grumpy adults. I need a special emoticon for this feeling. One that can express rage, annoyance and homesickness. Something like. No, that's not doing it. WE ARE MOVING BACK TO IOWA! What is it," she'll think, "with laundromats and lunatics? And why do they always bother me. Each morning I'll clim...

Peso Millionaires: September 2010
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. It's 12:57 in the afternoon and I'm three minutes from being out the door. In India we don't get snow days, but we do get potential violence due to religious fervor days:. Http:/ edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/09/30/india.ayodhya/index.html? Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Power to your elbow. Thank you for the love. All of your well-wishes helped us get through a hard time; however, one sympathy card stands above the rest:. Wednesday, September 22, 2010.

Peso Millionaires: Old Mother Hubbard
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011/05/old-mother-hubbard.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Went to her cupboard,. And found only cockroaches. That's the Indian version of that nursery rhyme, at least in our house anyway. We're in the process of selling off/ giving away the things we're not taking with us, leaving us with.not much. Anyway, speaking of the end of things, I thought we'd try something new. A poll! What should become of the blog? Only you can decide. You've got six days to do it. Poll to the right = = =. May 18, 2011 at 8:03 AM. Can we vote more than once?

Peso Millionaires: July 2010
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 31, 2010. View from our apartment. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Did I mention that we are in Bangkok this week? I don't think I did. We decided to end the trip here so we could do some shopping and have city time. We got a little crazy last night, so that's why I'm blogging a lot today. We're not doing much else. Well, Brad is lying around and moaning. He thinks we were ruffied. I think we have no one to blame but ourselves. Can you believe we lived out of these for 6 weeks? That's how I felt...
