I did have that tea for altitude sickness WAY up in the mountains of Peru! But since they have to be processed into a base component before being considered a drug we won't count that either! It was made from "Chocolate" leaves, I think they said. It sure calmed the headache and dizziness and nausea.

"Chocolate leaves" indeed! Coke right!? I watch the travel channel so I know that little secret! hehe
Happy birthday Clint!
Rita, I really enjoyed these photos. I had never seen one of Big Ed in his Marine dress or so thin!

Christie said...

AW! I love the pictures you included! Happy birthday. I went to the same high jungle in peru and also enjoyed the "special" tea. I even managed to get some home, but I didn't chance bringing it with me to Paraguay. Haha. Good stuff. It really does help nausea. :) Hope you two have a great time celebrating your day.

Very nice post! Feliz día Clint!

Love the pics especially the one of you and baby Joshua.

I think I may have met you and your husband when I was in Paraguay. Is it possible? I was there in 1995 for the summer, with the Fannings. I worked at a bilingual school there. Well, even if I didn´t meet you then, I have sort of met you now. ;) this was a fun post. Such a great way to honor your Man!

Rita, you have to love this guy a LOT to do what you've done all these years....My husband's job took us to PARIS and I resisted! :-) (not for long, however, not once we got there)
