This is just some miscellaneous stuff that we picked up during our latest trips:
-We have been through airport security 15 times now. Outside of the U.S. you don't have to take off your shoes; in the U.S. you have to take off your shoes. Every time we have to take off our belts and sweaters and take our computers out of our backpacks.
-Coke Zero is really popular in Europe. About the only pop we would ever see is Coke, Diet Coke and Coke Zero. No Mountain Dew or MelloYellow :(
-Inca Cola is a really popular pop in Peru. It tastes very good.
-Bread is served at almost every meal in Europe. One time in Turkey, we had a loaf of bread that could fit a football in it! It was huge and hollow inside.
-A lot of homeless cats roam the streets of Turkey. One time at a restaurant we went to, there was this one cat that jumped up on the chair next to us! It was very funny. :)
-There is no grass around Madrid, Spain. (well...almost no grass)
-There is this one department store in Lima named Ripley's. After seeing the prices, my dad said, "Can you believe it? Or not?"
-We never got lost in Turkey......but somehow we kept getting lost in Spain.
-There is a casino in Lima named Orange City. What a coincidence!
-Costa Rica has really good chocolate covered coffee beans. :) They give away free samples of them at the airport. But they are not so happy when you come back for more.

Very interesting facts. Have you considered going beltless? - it might save time at airports. Did you find that they like to serve all that Coke Zero without ice? Seems like Americans are much more obsessed with ice cold beverages than other people. Also, if a cat jumped up where I was going to eat at a restaurant I wouldn't think it was funny.
