a new season

a new season in Peru means... the weather is getting colder but we still live in the city 'of eternal spring' so not too cold. ...until your body adjusts to the cold weather and you find yourself wrapped up in sweaters and jackets even when you see other tourists visiting in shorts and t shirts. i think this is a hint that you are adjusting to the country. at least your body is. 
it also means new faces for the interns. the monty of July saw our summer interns return for  home to begin university classes again, just as we were getting to know them. But as they left we received 7 new faces to get to know, most of them staying with us for the next 10 months. 

notice that even though I said the weather is changing for colder, we still visit the beach. Huanchaco is about a 15/20 minute drive away, we went there Friday to enjoy some lunch. Many of us cebiche which is a traditional dish here of fish cooked or not cooked based on your perspecitve of cooking... in lime juice. its tasty. 

one of our first days all together, with a birthday party for one of our friends in the mission. Some of our Peruvian friends from the church threw Eric a Peruvian birthday party, it was a lot of fun, including the dancing. which i still haven't picked up even with a year under my belt. ha.
