Lunch on the Pacific

Today one of the fundraiser coordinators for the Hogar invited us to her lovely home that overlooks the Pacific in a very nice area of Lima. The views were spectacular and the bad weather/fog really accentuated the colors of the houses that traversed the oceanside. The people we met were lovely and again, it is amazing to be surrounded by such positive, good-hearted individuals. We got to see a video of one of the fundraisers thrown in Lima earlier this year - so adorable because all the children from the Hogar were there the help raise money by singing their hearts out on two Peruvian songs. Fantastica. Another new volunteer showed up late last night, so his first day volunteering involved relaxing in a beautifully luxurious home and consuming large amounts of rich, homemade food. We hope that he doesn´t assume each day is like that - we can already picture him writing his friends back home saying, "This is the best place to volunteer EVER!" Tomorrow should be an interesting one for him ;) Anyways, still amazed by the children each and every day! We introduced some of our sweet moves which got all the older kids involved and they had a blast! I even taught them some tango steps, in hopes to represent for my sister, tango extraordinare. They showed us how to dance in Peruvian discotecas, but we definitely need more practice before we actually test the waters. Hope all is well back at home, wherever that may be. Much love.
