Learning Ajax
I’m updating my pizza ordering site http://hometownpizza.us with a few new features. I learned some Ajax and was quite happy with the result – I can actually change parts of a web page now without reloading the whole page.
Patricia and I went out downtown Cusco a couple of weeks ago to celebrate that I got the pizza site up and running. We had dinner at a really nice restaurant where “Norton’s Rats” used to be and even went out dancing afterwards!!

Things you get used to.
After living in Peru for awhile I got used to doing the laundry by hand, not having hot water, my own car or things of that nature. In most houses here there’s no heat, and at night it gets cold up here in the mountains. But it’s easy to stay warm under some nice Alpaca blankets. One of these days I intend to start an export business of Alpaca and cotton goods, but that’s another story.

Dual nationality mutts.
Roxy and Manchita were strays that decided to move in with us in NC. Roxy is some type of Jack Russell mix and Manchi looks like a blue Pitbull mix. Being that they are extremely attached to us, and they’re good dogs, we decided to move them to Peru with us. That was actually a pretty easy process: pay the vet in NC, the state of NC, the airlines, the Peruvian department of agriculture, and about $500 later we were happily moved to Peru. The best part of the trip for them was when they got to stay at the Sheraton Miami because our flight, which was supposed to leave at midnight, was delayed for 7+ hours. With time to spare, travel by air, ruff!!
Manchita got sick a month or so after moving to Cusco. Might have been the altitude (10,300 ft) or climate that she had to get used to. Either way, Patricia put this cute sweater on her for a while after that!
Update: see the comments for additional info on how to move dogs from the US to Peru.
How we got here…
Once upon a time, a Peruvian girl met a Belgian guy in an Irish bar in North Carolina. It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but it was the best thing ever happened to me. Patricia and I met when she was an au-pair in NC and I was still working for GE in Durham. Now we live in Cusco, Peru, where Patricia is finishing her degree and I am working as an independent consultant.
