Lunch With The Girls

Dorcas and I had a great lunch today. Why? Because we went to La Victoria, picked up 11 of our young friends that we did the "Extreme Makeover" for, packed all of them in our 4x4 (13 people total!), went with them to Wong's Supermarket, picked up a bunch of chicken, french fries, Pepsi, 7-Up, plus some other Peruvian delicacies such as "aji de gallina" (shredded chicken in a yellow chili pepper sauce), "arroz con pollo" (chicken with rice), and "tallerines criollos" (Peruvian-style noodles), and then went back to our house for lunch. We also made sure to get a cake and some ice cream, since today was Romina's birthday! Everyone had a blast! We ate, watched videos, hung out, ate some more, watched the golfers across the street, looked at all the cool jungle stuff in my office (10-foot-long anaconda skin, 1-foot-long piranha, tribal masks, etc.), looked at Dorcas' collection of Winnie the Pooh bears, and then topped it all off by singing "Happy Birthday" to Romina, in English and in Spanish, and then devouring a lot of cake and ice cream. 11 little girls had a really fun afternoon. So did we.
