Late as usual....
We had a beautiful 4th, the first truly sunny day for a while! It was a perfect day to get together with a bunch of American families (maybe 60-70 people in all?), and have a traditional pot-luck cookout. It was hosted at a local private school, with big grass fields and a playground, so a real treat for all the kids. We played softball and ate burgers, all to the sound of military bands playing patriotic tunes (on a CD). Noah had the time of his life, except when the fireworks went off at the end, which he really did not like. I'm always amazed at events like these to find out just how many Americans from all over the country are in Lima (and we didn't even go to the big party at the embassy--perhaps next year). We'd love to post pictures, but are camera-less at the moment. It has all made us miss home even more, and we hope you all enjoyed the day.
P.S. for fellow tennis lovers -did you catch that Federer/Nadal match? Just incredible. If you are in any way a fan and did not see it, you must find a way. The two best (and classiest) in the world, at the top of their game, for the highest stakes, going down to the wire. Sport at its finest.
