So out of all the 296 pictures (in five days) we've taken since we left Trujillo, Peru (where my husband was doing an internship thru Utah State University and I was learning to cook Peruvian food), why did I choose this one? I'll tell you. It's because this picture marks the completion of one of my life goals.
A couple things on the list:
1. Ride in a limo, roll down the window, and ask if the person in the car next to us if they have any Grey Poupon Mustard (did you see that commercial? if not it's below). CHECK.
2. Ride an elephant in India (not fulfilled yet).
3. Hold a sloth in the Amazon. CHECK.
In fourth grade I wrote a report on sloths (we were learning about the Amazon Jungle at the time) and since then it's been a strong desire to hold one in the Amazon. Today was an amazing day. I hope to share more soon. On Tuesday we go to Cuzco. I hope our internet connection is better there.
P.S. Did you enter my GIVEAWAY yet?

I love that photo!!! Glad you're enjoying a wonderful trip. Can't wait to hear more.
That is the coolest picture. I remember that commercial when I was a kid--my brother and I would always say that in the car when we were at stop lights. LOL.
i'm very jealous you are holding a sloth. love it.
the ONE photo you waited ONE hour to upload was SO worth it.
GORGEOUS!!
Love your photo, and you look pretty gorgeous for being in the middle of the jungle, my dear!
xxoo Josie
WHat a great photo - sounds like you are having a fantastic time!
One hour? WOW - that IS patience!
Well, I hope you're getting comments quicker than you're uploading. What an amazing experience! Don't know that I'd want to hold that sloth, but you sure look gorgeous with him in your arms. That could be a photo from some exotic fashion shoot.
I do, BTW, want to ride an elephant before I die. :)
The photo is fantastic! I think it's so great that you waited that long for this photo to load. And your adventures sound so exciting.
p.s. I like your earrings. x
That's amazing! I hope to one day to that too. I love sloths.
You're too cute sloth-woman!
Loved the limo incident. Funny! (haven't seen the ad though..)
Looks like you are enjoying yourself. I hope you continue to do so.
Have a great start to the week!

Thank you sooo Much!!! =)
That picture is truely amazing! So cute ^^
Love the picture!! Looks like you are having an amazing time! :)
Very jealous..have always wanted to see a sloth. Looks like you are having an amazing time...it is bringing back memories of when we went on our world trip in 2008. Unfortunately we didn't get as far as South America had to come home early due to my dad being unwell. Enjoy every minute. V. impressed how glamorous you are looking in the jungle!
awwee that is soo cute! I'm glad you accomplished that from you list! So cute! xoxo
such a cute pic of you and the sloth!!! i cracked up after reading your grey poupon experience :)
Thanks for your sweet comment!!!
Now I must ask, is "advertising" leaving a link to my blog? I only do it because I am connected with a google account and I find that sometimes I can't view other people's blogs by clicking on their name!?!? and that drives me crazy! I'm not as tech savvy as some may think, but just wondering???
Much Love,
Hope :) xxxxx
Ahh haha. I was totally there for the limo ride! Cool! And unless you did this twice in your life, I'm pretty sure the person you asked was my cousin. Cute pic. Rach!
HAHA I've totally done the Grey Poupon thing!!!! That sloth is so adorable... so awesome that you'll fulfilled things on your list!

oh my gosh your holding a sloth!!! so cool and amazing!
Ahh!! Sooo cute!
clothed much, a modest fashion blog
oh dear girl.
you are RADIANT.
also i love your use of alliteration. also. you are holding a baby sloth.
also.
it is strange how someone can look up to someone and not really know that someone. but feel like they know that someone. well one of those someones is me and one is you and with that, we make two, and you are a stranger that doesn't feel so strange, to think about knowing, and looking up to. in all honesty. you're glorious.
and the above stated comment about you being radiant. well it's true.
you glow from the inside out and all i see of you is images. pictures. and i can feel the warmth. i'm positive the people you meet are blessed. i am positive.
congrats on accomplishing two of those life goals. feats. finished. fin.
love,
tif
oh my god i cannot start to explain how ridiculously jealous i am of you.
i want a sloth more than anything in the world! i know sad right?aahah
not only are you in the middle ofthe jungle, but you still seem to look too incredibly
GORGEOUS!.
i hope you continue to have an amazing time! <3
My internet must be worse than yours since I can't see the photos in this post(still loading)..lol.
Sweetie, I'm glad you are having so much fun. You are awesome.
So, I decided not to email him. You are right. He doesn't deserve any of my time. I'd rather comment on wonderful blogs than waste time emailing a mean person.
LOVE!
Amazing photo! Sounds like such a wonderful adventure, i truly am jealous.
aaaah! that's so cool that picture!:)

So cool! You got to hold a baby sloth! =] By the way, I like your music playlist.
Wow, what an amazing expirience!
I went to India, but no such luck riding an elephant. I was really kind of sad :-( The only elephants we actually saw were in a roadside Indian Circus. Disappointing to say the least! At least there were cows everywhere.

love, polly :D
