Day 73

My last Sunday in Peru was Dia de la Madre, so the sermon at church was specifically about Christian women. As a gift to all the mothers, the kids had put together a little performance about Moses. I have to say that the costumes were quite a bit better than the actual performance -- there were a lot of little Egyptians with eyeliner on and everything. Awesome. After church, I ran home to see how Bethany was doing -- still sick, kind of flu-like symptoms. Then I booked it (not sure why... Peruvians are used to waiting) back to church to go out to lunch with Eden, Christian (whose mother is traveling), and Josue (whose parents wanted some alone time after celebrating Mother's Day on Sunday). We went out to lunch at a cevicheria in Jesus Maria called Isla del Amor (hahaha...), and I had some really awesome tacu-tacu with a seafood sauce. It was so fun hanging out with those guys -- they all make me laugh so much. Then we walked back to Eden's house, watched Friends (with Spanish subtitles), drank coffee and ate cookies. Josue had to leave, and Claudia and Gabriel showed up, so the five of us went to El Parque de la Reserva, which is this giant, pretty state-of-the-art fountain park. This photo was before the boys pushed me into the fountains and got me soaked (and is to prove that I don't just take photos with gringas). I froze... but it was totally worth it. Only a couple more days with these guys.
