Festival Time

In August I was able to go home for a few days to celebrate my brother’s wedding - what a treat. Not only to have the comforts of home, but to be surrounded by family and friends for a few days was amazing. Dan was also able to come back to Peru with me and visit for a few days, which made getting on the plane leaving America a lot easier.
I’m now safely back in my site and enjoying the events of our “Cultural Week” and town anniversary. This weekend is the Shrimp, Wine and Pisco Festival with a packed schedule of dance performances and culinary delights. This morning there was a ‘marathon’ around town. There were groups for kids, teenagers, adults, senior citizens, and representatives of institutions. I ran in the last category to represent Cuerpo de Paz . . . and I won! I guess that says something about the physical fitness level of the business people in my community. It should be a fun weekend enjoying all of my small town’s finest food, drink, and entertainment.
