Things I am looking forward to...

Aside from conducting research in this beautiful country, I am looking forward to indulging in a number of simple pleasures that can only be found in the land of the Saviour!

Hammocks: In my opinion, there is nothing better than a siesta on a hammock.

Boquitas Diana: Diana makes some of the best junk food! My personal favourites are by far the Jalapeño tortilla chips (which you can see to the right of the picture); the corn nuts are a close second. An interesting fact about these deliciously bad products, which might interest you health-driven nuts out there (i.e. Sylvie), is that the servings are significantly smaller than a regular North American bag of chips (about 1/3 of the size).

There are corner stores or "tiendas" all over the place, which means I can get my Diana snacks no matter where I end up for my siesta!
