Chicagoing home!


I’m returning stateside!  Yes you read correctly.  For two weeks only, you can spend quality time with your favorite Peace Corps Volunteer!  I’ll be in the states from Friday December 16th until the 31st.  So it’s that time of the year, if you want coffee ($5 a pound) or cigars (price unknown), let me know now!

As for your end of the deal, what Pedro wants…:

Portillo’s (Chicago style hotdog with all the fixings and a large Chocolate Cake Shake)
Gino’s East (or other acceptable substitution) deep dish pizza (sausage, onions, green peppers and black olives)
Beer (Sam Adams and Goose Island), Wine (any kind, too expensive here), Liquor that isn’t rum.
Fruits: apples, olives and grapes (super expensive here)
Veggies: lettuce that isn’t iceberg, cauliflower and asparagus (have NEVER seen them in Nicaragua)
TAP WATER!
Barbeque ribs and steak
2% Oberweis milk
Cheese: sharp cheddar, smoked gouda and manchego
Olive oil
Bacon, bacon BACON!
Waffles
Chili
Weinersnitchel with spaetzle and dumplings
Lasagna
Duck

Things I don’t want to see or run the risk of projectile vomiting:

Red beans
White rice
Corn tortillas
Canola oil
Bananas

  1. Hey Pete,

    I'd be down for a lb of coffee and a few Nica cigars!

    And do you have to fly back on New Year's Eve?

  2. Done, how many cigars do you want? Still don't have a price but they should be cheap...

    Yeah I'm flying back on NYE. I think we have a condo on the beach, how could I pass that up?
