Photo catch up!

I promised pictures forever ago....oops.

into our stir fry, causing a momentary flame!

Clearly I cannot post all of my pictures here, so if you want to see more, here are the links to my facebook albums:
Also, did I ever post the link to the video that I was in?  I know I wrote about the video in my blog . . . my friend Dan was in a communications class and had to make a short film as part of a group project and he asked me to be in it.  The final video is posted on Youtube, so here is the link:

I hope everyone is having a great summer!  Today is Independence Day in Peru, which is a really big deal there.  It is a two-day holiday but often more days are given off of work.  For instance this year it has fallen on a Wednesday, so according to my host aunt, most people will be off today, tomorrow, and Friday thru Sunday. 

¡Feliz Día de Independencia!
¡Viva el Perú, carajo!
