In honor of my son traveling to Peru tomorrow, I'll have to toast some Inca Kola.

How exciting for your son!!!! :) :) :)

Do you all get to see him off at the airport?

From Smooth on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 17:22:13 from 71.219.147.142

Wow, three weeks went by fast!!!

They discouraged families going to the airport, right? It will be a bittersweet day for you and your wife! Hugs!

No airport, but we do get phone calls. David will call from Salt Lake in the morning, then during a layover from Atlanta.

Very exciting Paul. You'll have to have him bring some IncaKola home with him from Peru. Maybe it will be your new Dew.

We had a Peruvian neighbor that was quite fond of IncaKola. It's ok, but it's no Shasta.

Hope you had nice phone visitations with David. Did you talk to him en Espanol?

Rhett's comment is buena idea!!! :)

They had Inca Cola on my mission to Ecuador. I always thought it tasted like liquified bubble gum.

From Smooth on Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 20:31:26 from 75.165.251.74

How is David doing?

From RivertonPaul on Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 20:58:20 from 67.177.42.59

Sorry I haven't been posting. David is doing great.

You can read his letters at:

From Smooth on Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 21:16:16 from 75.165.251.74

Wow! he writes such nice long detail letters! LOVE reading them and the pix from MTC drop off day! What a neat missionary! :)

I used to eat lunch at El Chalan on 3rd West and 1500 South. They sold Inca Kola, though it looks like they are out of buisiness :(

But I'm sure there are other sources. I bet this place has it- http://www.pequenitamarket.com/ So head over to the barrio so you can do a long distance toast with some Inca! o chela o chelas ;)

From Teena Marie on Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 14:57:01 from 67.2.124.188

Very cool website you have for David! :) I agree with Smooth, "WOW!!!" Seriously, his letters are awesome! (So ... did he get his writing talents from his dad or his mom??) :)
