Fun in Lima!

Yes, we do get some work done here too... but these photos show some of the fun ways I've been spending my time over the last month. enjoy.

Bowling in Lima

Bowling in Lima! It was Manuel's first time, but he still beat some of us. Tim kicked all our butts with a 233.

In costume

Our Harvest Celebration (aka Halloween Costume party)

Kristy is a pirate (AARGHH!), Tim is Bob Marley, I'm Wolverine of X-men fame, and Katie is a nerd. no, really. We carved pumpkins, bobbed for apples, and ate hearty Tuscan tomato soup. And laughed a lot.

 

pumpkin thugs

The pumpkins, before they were carved.

emoliente madness

I have recently discovered a very tasty beverage here in Lima. Emoliente is an herbal tea, flavored with quince apple and lemon grass. Extras include tamarind syrup, alfalfa juice, pollen, honey, and aloe vera goo.

It's supposed to very healthy. Maybe next time I get some i'll take a few photos of the process - it's pretty cool.

Cheers!

second official entry

right.

i sent out a mass email with a link to the blog, so hopefully people will check out the photos. i´m not sure why they are in reverse order. you can also click on photo album, camping chosica, and view them there - again, i don´t know why there are two copies of each photo.

yeah, still figuring out the whole technology thing...

Okay, i´m off to go make 80 ham sandwhiches.
