FUN STUFF
Our friends Anna and Rick got engaged! Yeah! After almost two months of travelling, in the glorious scenery and the wineries of Mendoza, it became official. The bad news is that they are waiting to get married until they go back to Australia...and that is one long (and expensive) flights. But, until then, Anna and I can continue to talk about wedding stuff - in addition to just about everything else - during our long taxi rides to and from school each day.Arturo went to Graceland. No...not the Graceland in Memphis, but the week-long, very, very (did I say very) 
intense initiation to Interbank, where he's now working. It began on a Friday night and went for an entire week. The best part which sort of did make up for the week he was essentially away? He had to act in a play that he and the other 30-some-odd group members created. This was a take off on the recent film "Bedtime Stories." I was able to see Arturo as a rich business owner, a Roman King, and a futuristic king of aliens. Oh, 
and since it was also a musical, I was able to see him sing and dance...oh the fun of it all!

would happen before dark), we had a lovely little bbq while rockclimbing. Good fun, good fun!

Finally, after months and months of waiting, Arturo's parents house (that they sold about a year ago) was destroyed by the land developer that bought it...and their new apartment was finall ready! It's a beautiful, sunny new place...
with a small balcony, so many windows I am jealous everytime I am there, and a fancy elevator that opens right into the apartment.

A sort of dance party with traditional folk music and dancing from various parts of Peru. It was beautiful!! Plus, it was a great group: Anna and Rick from Australia, Javier and Tamara from Peru and Argentina, respectively, and Bivi, my Spanish teacher who is not only an amazing teacher, but also a great person. I´ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Hola. Llegué un poco tarde (7 años) a tu blog. Divertido. Lo leí de golpe. Que bueno que te hayas acostumbrado a Lima. En unos años serás profesora de mis compañeros.
Estando más acostumbrados a las historias de lo bueno\malo\diferente de peruanos que se fueron a vivir a otro país, hubiera sido interesante la versión de alguien que vino a vivir acá más allá de lo típico (la comida y el tráfico).
Enrique.
