Hmm.... seems like there was something special about this day.... what was it?
oh yeah..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! :) My first birthday in another country... It was great! Yesterday, (the 5th) was my cousin’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA! She is now sweet sixteen... and that makes me feel old.... i remember the day she was born and thinking she was my birthday gift.... (i was about to turn 7).
At midnight, i was woken up by a knock on my bedroom door and singing. Eduardo, Edelmira, and Yasmin sang a Peruvian Happy Birthday song to me! It was really sweet!
We went to the Center of Lima, and then took a tour bus up to the top of San Cristobol. San Cristobol is a mountain.... from the bottom it doesn’t look that tall... but from the top, you can see what seems like all of Lima! (just for perspective, Lima is a city of many districts, and over 8 Million people! i don’t remember how many people live in Oklahoma City, but i’m pretty sure it’s less...)
At the top of the mountain there is a big cross and a museum... the road to the top is a little scary... imagine being in a bus, winding through narrow (one car wide) streets between houses, climbing up at a steep grade (think San Francisco streets if you’ve ever been there)... Yes, we were praying on the way up and down, but it was really beautiful at the top!
When we came down, we had lunch at Norkey’s. It was SO GOOD! Then we went to the Indian Market for a little bit...
When we got home, i got to Skype with my family! So grateful for such technology! It was a great birthday!
