This is the bag (which doubled as a beach bag this weekend) that I purchased for 10 bucks at a market in La Victoria. I couldn't take my camera there because it's pretty sketchy, but that's where the missionary kids here all go to find their banquet dresses -- there is quite the selection. Plus, you can get the dress for as cheap as $15. It was yet another fun cultural experience. After class (my last class of the week!) I walked to the Panaggios' house, where Meredith was, and we had lunch with them. So delicious. It's nice that all these people want to feed me healthy, tasty meals. I went to the market for a few hours with Kay and Maria Panaggio, Kay and Julia Block, and another friend of theirs, and there was a lot of trying on dresses as well as making fun (in English) of ridiculous dresses. I didn't get home till 6, and I was planning to go to the prayer night at Buen Pastor, but I was exhausted, needed to pack, and it was my one chance to talk to Steve after he got back from a two-week trip to Europe and before I left for Barranca. Then I tried to start packing, but (of course) I waited till the next morning to really pack.
