Today has already been a really fun day! We went into Trujillo this morning to Plaza Vea to buy some supplies for the baking classes Kelly will teach the kids next week. She was able to find everything she needed, or at least something close enough, and we also did a bit of personal shopping. I got 4 bottles of chicha morada, 2 bottles of Inca Kola, and two packets of mazamora morada mix. Mazamora morada is purple corn pudding, chicha morada is purple corn juice, and Inca Kola is the soda of Peru. I also bought and ate a lucuma ice cream bar while in the store. Lucuma is a fruit really popular here.
It was good that we were gone because we had to stay out of our rooms all morning. Marcos sprayed bug spray everywhere. We spent time this morning before we left for town packing up everything we'd unpacked so that it wouldn't get covered. We'll be able to go back in at noon. Right now all the doors and windows are open to air things out.
After we got back from the grocery store, I got to watch some home videos with the older girls. Yamelit graduated from high school a few weeks ago, and someone had videoed her graduation and given it to her, so that's what they were watching. What an accomplishment for her! Her mom had bought her a dress for the occasion, and a lot of her family was able to attend, as well as Reina, the mother of the house Yamelit lives in here. So cool!
I think that's all for now.
