Best Birthday In Another Country Ever!

All the most awesome people in Arequipa. Friends, my second-mom Marlene, and my teacher Abi!

A flower from the bouquet my parents sent!

My third cake that day!

I got sung to in three languages!

Lucy and Coki!
The guy who set it all up!

Everybody Clap Your Hands! It's Picture Time! (The First of Three Installments).

I have had so much trouble with computers here. So the best way to do this, is to make three separate posts. Silly, I know, but it's for the best.

My new casita (little house)!

My little Spanish dresser!

Memories of the good old office days. (But, as a disclaimer, I had to pry Gin Gin away from her office in order to force her to photocopy her face as well. We didn't do this sort of thing all the time.)

This was above my bed when I moved in. Pobrecito.

This is the switch you flip after you start the water for a shower. It uses electricity to make your shower hot. It's called a "Widowmaker." Yeah.

Mi banito!

My sad ceiling.

Homes where people are squatting land.

Sweet fruit. Totally sweet, man.

El Rio Chile.

Municipal Theater. Only $3 to attend the concert.

A restaurant that's about as cheap as Bojangles'.
