Sydney, Australia Fall has hit here in Lima, and as it slowly begins to get chilly I start dreaming of warmer places. I remember a warm place that greeted me with love, laughter and many hugs… Here’s lookin’ at you Sydney!
What makes us different?
I have no energy to be witty or eloquent, but I do miss writing. So here are a few things in the last few weeks that remind this little Dorthy that she’s not in Kansas anymore. – I have seen my last name spelled wrong almost every time. Braun, Brawn, Broun, Browm, Bromw are the…
Onward and upward
And the adventures continue…. We continue our search for the most unusual, bizzarre and entertaining moments in Peru. And if we can’t find them, we create them (I’ll admit to singing a Lion King duet in the park on a strange Saturday night stroll). But if nothing else it’s a fun adventure all around, and I…
Spreading Happiness since 2012
Whew! Glad I got that “I got a boyfriend” announcement out of the way. I had no idea how I was gonna keep cropping him out of my pictures. We had a great time last weekend. We went to the fountain park to meet up with friends (who we ended up seeing only for about…
My Gentleman Caller
Well, here we go breaking my one of my unspoken, self-enforced blog rules. I have tried restricting my blog to the struggles and joys of experiencing life out of my home country (and then back in it, and then back out of it). And throughout this I’ve kept from writing too much about my romantic…
Life summary 3.2
I’ve been running on full blast for several weeks now, and I’ve missed writing. Last weekend I was tour guide to 30 Mexicans here visiting from the south union. So between that and several projects here at work, I’ve arrived home every night with enough energy to throw everything on the floor and collapse into…
Fight or flight
Little known fact: I have few phobias, and most are normal and healthy (except perhaps my fear of vacuum cleaners, thanks a lot Jeffrey Worthington) but I have developed a new phobia here in Peru. It’s probably one of those personal things I shouldn’t share, but hey, why start being shy now? When you live…
Minute Men Translators
Once again I found myself translating last minute, which is now becoming a specialty. It was fabulous though. We had the closing ceremony here for the Caleb project, a service/evangelism program for youth in which 20,000 young people from all around Peru came to participate in. Our closing ceremony hosted about half of them. And…
Seeing Peru
Last weekend we were surprised by Monday and Tuesday off (they don’t like giving notice around here), so my friends, Karla and Heinrich, decided it was time to hit the road! So off we went early Sunday morning on a quest to see Paracas, Ica, Nazca, Huacachina and Chincha. So here’s our quick tour of…
