Peru Week Two

Kids have started their school and are having fun. They look great in their new uniforms. Alex scored a goal at recess on his first day of school and was greeted with a big "Golazo!!" from the kids. Looks like he'll be playing lots of soccer while he is here. Noelle has made two friends - her seat mate named Francesca and another girl named Angelica.

We got an unsual day of sunshine during a season with a tenacious overcast sky. We enjoyed a walk along the coast watching the paragliders and surfers while the sun was out. We walked to Lover's Park which is on the bluffs above the ocean. The main feature of the park is a beautiful mosaic wall and bench that wraps around the entire park - it contains the verses to Spanish love poems. You know how I love mosaic!!! The kids enjoyed a Lucuma ice cream which is made from a fruit here in Peru. The flavor is similiar to Butterscotch.

We had a nice lunch with Robert's cousin Danny and his lovely girlfriend Jeanette. They took us to a fabulous restaurant named Chala in Barranco. At each restaurant I declare that this is the best food I've ever had. The tiradito and the causa were AMAZING! (Say with a Peruvian accent - como Terry) We continue to enjoy lots of Pisco Sour's (Peru's national drink) and Jeanette introduced me to a Maricuya (passion fruit) Sour which was delicious too.
