Three Cups of Tea...

...is about how much tea i drink in a typical day...maybe that's why my teeth are slowly changing their color. Ok, but actually, that's the title of a book i just finished reading, and i just wanted to recommend it to everyone. The authors are Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, and it's the story of "one man's mission to promote peace, one school at a time..." (off the cover). Basically, it narrates how Mortenson's failed attempt at climbing K2 in the Himalayan mountains led to his discovering this small town that inspired him to build them a school...eventually leading to the founding of a whole institution for the purpose of building schools and promoting education all throughout Pakistan/Afghanistan/other 'stans', etc....highly recommend it!
