Tuesday / Lima

We woke up to horns and banging early this morning. We soon realized that it was the alert for trash pickup.

We had a great morning breakfast at the Paredes' home with the usual household chores that needed to be done. We washed clothes and hung them on the line, but we were not sure how long it will take for them to dry in this cool, overcast weather. Oh well... we just had to wait and see.

The celebrations for Independence Day had begun with what sounded like guns going off or loud firecrackers... ummm we were not sure. Parades were in almost every street and neighborhood. Music was everywhere!

We were told by Brenda in the morning that the Dales would be singing with her band at the San Pablo Church in Lima on WEDNESDAY?! WHAT?! SINGING?! So, we were off to practice at the Amen Presbyterian Church.

After the much needed practice, we returned home to a wonderful lunch of Ahi de Gelina with (a special) hot sauce for Van... Whew! Thank you Miriam!

After lunch, we were off to the city to visit the Fair Trade Store, Independence services at the San Pablo Church and then... you guessed it... we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant before heading home for the evening.
