Saturday morning we were in Lima...

I may have checked my bed for bed bugs....and regretting not bringing flip flops for my shower... but Saturday morning our breakfast was absolutely splendid - and on a terrace in the sunshine at that! The coffee was espresso, with hot water AND hot milk to add, and once I stirred in a heap of deliciously soft brown sugar, I was in cup-o-jo heaven.  For our fresh baked buns, there was double the butter I could spread available - I always find our restaurants at home go a little skimpy - and this butter didn't come processed & packaged in plastic containers, but fresh cut into cubes and served in a dish...mmmm....

Our next stop was the PINIFE sponsor site.  My heart was met with the same love as when we traveled here on the Solidarity Tour in 2011.  When I close my eyes now and think of the children here (& those who care for them so abundantly!), it's Jesus' face I see - and his eyes and his smile are still beaming with this ridiculous love that He has for me, and for all of us. 

Again, I had to go without my camera; the Sisters prefer for us not to bring anything that will make our group a target.  We have a professional photographer in our Team and she was permitted to bring her gear along.  She hasn't had time to post photos just yet, but you can check them out soon on her blog: http://www.karinlocke.com.  I will also post some photos asap.

      Food shots were definitely at your request ;) I will have plenty more to show you upon our return - there is a group of mothers who prepare our snacks and lunch each day while we are at the Parish - it is always delicious and always needs to come with an explanation :P We've had star fruit juice, yuke (like potato) & cheese on a stick and roasted in the fire, lots more chicha - once with a big dried peach at the bottom! Well, time to attempt another blog....love you! xoxox!
