The land of the bad hair day. The funny thing about it is the Peruvians have it down. I never look at them and think, "What's up with that hair?" (Except for maybe Jenry because he needs a haircut. Margarita says he looks like Mufasa from the Lion King.) And actually, I think Heather's hair is pretty cute too, but mine...horroroso. I finally had a little time this morning to blowdry my hair. I was really excited to maybe look like a normal person for a day. I turned on Heather's hair blowdryer, which works for 110V and 240V...it worked for a few seconds and broke. So looks like Heather wins the prize! A new hair blowdryer for Texas! And I win my own prize--ridiculous looking hair for the next 2 1/2 weeks.
Heather just posted some pictures of us with the Familia Silva. They're so great. We really love them. The pictures are of us at the beach of Huanchaco yesterday and then at Miguel and Flor Avila's wedding. I love that I wear the same shirt to the beach and then later to a wedding. We're just trying to conserve outfits.
In one of the pictures you can see Adrian on my shoulders. That kid is a character! Margarita was telling us last night that when he was 2 1/2, they would ask him to say a blessing on the food and he would say the prayer for the sacrament replacing the words for the sacrament with whatever food they were eating that night. He wanted every prayer to be the sacrament prayer. He cried when Jenry and Margarita told him he couldn't use that prayer to bless the food.
The other night when we were eating dinner, he kept saying he was a condor and flapping his wings. Then he was an owl and an eagle. We're having to learn the names of animals to keep up with him. He knows all the animals and talks a ton. He reminds me of my nephew Leif in that way.
Heather and I had a good time today visiting the microempresarios with Jenry. We're going to go shopping in a little while to buy groceries to make dinner for the Silvas so that Margarita can take a break. I'll write more later about what we actually ended up doing today and Heather can post more pictures that we took.

Groovy Wednesday (but for the song's sake, we'll say Tuesday)! Diggin' the pix by the beach and salsa dancing? Seems like a shopping day, with the new blow dryer and all. Maybe Heather picked up some of those new shoes groovin' to Paolo Nutini's "New Shoes"
I'm sure you have this one ladies, but if you don't shame, shame. Must have.
Woke up cold one tuesday,
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
So i quickly opened the wardrobe,
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
That were ripped around the seams,
And i thought these shoes just don't suit me.
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And i'm running late,
And i dont need an excuse,
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Woke up late one thursday,
And i'm seeing stars as i'm rubbing my eyes,
And i felt like there were two days missing,
As i focused all the time,
And i made my way to the kitchen,
But i had to stop from the shock of what i found,
A room full of all my friends dancing round and round,
And i thought hello new shoes,
Byebye them blues.
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And i'm running late,
And i dont need an excuse,
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Take me wondering through these streets,
Where bright lights and angels meet,
Stone to stone they take me on,
Im walking to the break of dawn.
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And i'm running late,
And i dont need an excuse,
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Take me wondering through these streets
Peace & Love,
Miguel
