Andean Birthday Party
From Sierra: On Friday after school I went to Radhe's birthday party. It started at three o'clock. When I got to her house we had a snack of cookies, cashews, cheese rolls, and chicha morada, a juice made out of purple corn. Then we played some games until about six. One of the games was like musical chairs except we passed a balloon instead. Then we gave Radhe presents and sang a birthday song that was called "happy fiesta day." Then we lined up to receive a piece of birthday lasagne that had a big candle in it. The lasagne was cooked in a woodstove outside. Then I walked home in the dark with mommy, which took about 30 minutes.

Hello from Vancouver Island!
ReplyDeleteI love reading what you girls write on this blog. Keep doing it!! :) The photos are wonderful too. I was there when I was a grownup, but long before you were born and long before I became so old. I'm glad I saw that amazing country when I was younger. The altitude is hard on old damaged lungs like mine. I have always wanted to return to see that land again, but maybe I won't be able to do that. Perhaps that is why I'm enjoying everything you girls share about your experiences there. So...."Thank you."
I will get to see you at the end of the year, when you all return to North America. It will be lovely for me to see your beautiful faces again, to wake up in the morning and hear your voices in our house. Until then, I hope you continue to embrace your new experiences of the strange lands, new people, and exotic sensory experiences.
Love you all,
MaryAnn

If you want to make more skirts or make anything, I will be happy to be your obedient "assistant." :) :) :)
