Inca Kola

As most of you know I am heavily addicted to this stuff. I know some of you like it and some of you hate it but I doubt any of you understand why I love it so much(especially those who would throw it in a trashcan Grrr.) It is first and foremost one of the best drinks I've ever had but theres a lot more to it. A lot of my like of this drink has to do with symbolism. My week in Peru was Perfect It was hell getting there and hell when I got back but for the week in Peru I felt like nothing could go wrong, felt like I was part of a family, and was completly at peace. Those three have never happened at the same time nor felt so strong as they did that week. Every time I drink some Inca Kola it takes me back to that. The other symbol is that we as humans aren't suppose to be gready(I hate gready people). For those of you who don't know Inca Kola sells so well in Peru that Coca cola had to buy them out to compete. almost every Peruvian hates this and wishes Inca Kola were in Peruvian hands and not gready American ones. Thats another thing that I always think about when I drink the stuff. The last thing that is remembered is the amazing atitude of most Peruvians. Even though they have very little they're happy and have a really deep faith in God. Its amazing to see.
