The Beginning

I am Lowell.  A father of three, and married to Melissa for going on 18 years now.  We have been missionaries in Peru for a few years, and I have learned a lot while being here.  I have had so many questions, and as most do, I often searched the internet for answers.  Why is the inter-city bus stopping in the middle of the desert when they said they wouldn't?  Is that taxi driver really giving me a good price, or am I paying the "extranjero tax"?  Where are the bathrooms when traveling, and why do I have to pay 50 cents to use them?  Is it ok to refuse food offered to me?  Does it depend on where I am at the time?

So many questions, so much learned.  I hope this is helpful to someone at some point in their own journey.  My target audience is other extranjeros, probably missionaries, coming to Peru.  But guessing there might be a tourist here and there that might benefit from my experiences.

Take care, and looking forward to sharing this journey of learning with you all!

Lowell
