Update

We moved apartments and since the move we are not able to post pictures on our blog. So instead, we have created a web album that can be found at:

This page will take you to our main page with all our different albums. We have a few new pictures, and you can see any of our other pictures in a larger size from these albums. From now on our blog will just link to these photos. It also has a few pictures of our nephew Max, who is not in Peru with us but is so cute that I had to show him off.

On another note, in the past week and a half:

  • We moved apartments- our old one was not so nice, didn't have everything they told us it would, had a plastic yellow couch (very sweaty) and was a total rip-off. We now have a much larger, must nicer apartment for just over half the price of the last. You can see pictures on our web album.
  • We attended a cooking class- there is a chef here who is also a pastor. He runs a cooking show as part of his ministry where he trains peruvian students and discusses family values as he cooks. Once a month he does a cooking class at the embassy to raise money for his parish. We learned how to make these amazing beef skewers in a peruvian peanut sauce. I will try to post the recipe so you can all try it out.
  • We found out that my brother is engaged to his wonderful girlfriend Courtney. You can see a picture of them on our web album.
  • A bird almost pooped on my head
  • We had a formal dinner with all of the interns from the embassy. It was hosted by the Deputy Chief of Mission (2nd in command at the embassy). Her cooks were kind enough to make one of the most delicious meals I've ever had! There is also a picture of us with all the interns on our web album.
  • We waited and waited and waited and waited to hear back from the final law schools ... Unfortunately Yale "failed to accept" Jeff, but we're still waiting on two more.

Tonight I am going to try my hand at making Lomo Saltado, the most famous Peruvian dish. If it turns out I will post a recipe for that as well. And this weekend is our first major excursion to Huaraz! Stay tuned for more pictures.
