Well besides being late everything is going well here in Lima. We had our 4th of July party at our house and had an American menu: burgers, potato salad, buffalo dip, guac, salad, alfajores, Jell-O shots with pisco (NOT recommended) and an American flag of fruit.
Alfajores below
We played some card games and helped share our Independence Day with those here. I sang the star spangled at my school and shared a bit of how we celebrate it and what we eat, etc. They do have their Independence Day also in July (28) and they celebrate all month. They wear pins representing their country and fly flags in businesses and houses. Very patriotic. With all the people over at our house we got to spend some time with new friends, my host mom and bf never had blueberries!, and we played a few drinking games. We took fiesta upstairs at 2:30am and I went to bed and they continued until 4:30-5 am. Long nightlife here!
For the last few years I have not been home to celebrate a 4th and have been out of country now 2 in last 3 years so I've have fun getting to celebrate and share with others!!
It is our last week of our program and I'll be heading out to cusco on Sunday. I'll write again to recap this week before I head out!!
By the way thanks for reading everyone. So good to know these posts are being read and shared!!
