Funny Childhood Memories

Do you have any funny childhood memories that pop into your head once in a while? I have no idea what made me think of this today but... :) My great aunt Gladys when I was little, had wall paper that had pictures of big fruits on it. And it reminded me of the old school Willy Wanka and the Chocolate Factory movie... every time I would go over to her house I would walk by in wonderment! :) I was certain that she had the Willie Wanka wall paper.. till one day I got brave and when no one was looking I took a taste.... I'm sad to say there was no fruit flavor at all.

Which then makes me think of my recent trip to Bolivia! :) he he he he... I know you might be thinking... "oh my random" :) I took this three day tour through Bolivia in a Land Cruiser with 6 other people.

One of the nights we stopped out in the middle of the desert and stayed in a hostel made entirely out of salt. The walls, beds, tables, chairs, floors... everything!

There was some speculation in the group because it just doesn't seem possible... there was only one way to find out... yes you guessed it... the second time in my life where I have licked a wall... this time... I was not disappointed... It was absolutely, positively made out of salt! :)

Crossing the border....

This is the immigration office between the borders of Chile and Bolivia! Let me tell you every second in Bolivia was a real adventure! :)
