More Fun Stuff

We posted a few more pictures from our adventures last Saturday. Jeff has been helping out with the young men's group at church, so Saturday afternoon we headed over to the stake center to watch their soccer tournament. Unfortunately only 2 members of our team showed up, so they had to pull some guys from another team and Jeff had to play goalie. He was wearing his flip flops because he wasn't expecting to play, so it was a bit difficult for him, but he did a great job. Check out our cool action shots at http://picasaweb.google.com/calowyn/Soccer.

Then Saturday night we hung out with our friend April (previously mentioned, also an intern at the embassy). April has realized that here in Peru people have a difficult time pronouncing "April LaCroix," so now whenever she has to give her name or make reservations she calls herself "Abril de la Cruz." I get a kick out of it every time I think of it. We ended up eating at restaurant called Manos Morenas, an Afro-Peruvian restaurant in the district of Barranco (good thing I edited this sentence. Originally I had put that we ate the restaurant). Though Barranco neighbours Miraflores, we had never been before. We'll probably go back and can take more pictures. The restaurant had a music/dance show, and we got our 3 minutes of fame posing with the dancers for a picture. You can see those pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/calowyn/DinnerInBarranco.

We're excited to have our friend Linda here. She arrived safely late last night. We have a lot planned over the next week, so stay tuned for more pics and stories.
