Over the course of our trip (and during the innumerable, but spectacular bus rides - see left), Adina, Jon, Shaina and I amused ourselves by coming up with absurd or poignant essay/dissertation titles. They were loosely based on the places we saw, what were were doing, or hilarious, out of context statements. I've used a lot of them for the titles of my posts. But there are some gems that I'm won't have a chance to expound upon before I head out to Peru tomorrow.
So here are some un-aired highlights:I Am My Own Sherpa
This Train is Bound: Why Heathrow and Glory are Mutually Exclusive
