Feliz Cumple

What an odd, but enjoyable birthday I have had.  First, we'll start out with a pic of me and the folks at the Huaycan office at lunch:

You can't see much of it, but there was a big ole chocolate cake with fruit on top for dessert.  They sang to me in both Spanish and English.  The folks from the main office all called me on my Peruvian cell (3 separate calls) to wish me a happy birthday.  It was very sweet.  At the end of the day, just before I was leaving, I was presented with a giant stuffed dog:

Not sure what I will do with this guy, but the thought was super.  Then, when I arrived home at about 8, I was greeted by Yesica and Kaylin with sushi.  My first sushi in Peru was tasty, and unexpectedly, a cake appeared after dinner:

And guess what kind it was?  Yes, lucuma!!   It was heavenly - I tried to eat as much as I could, but only two pieces would fit in my belly.  I am sooo stuffed right now.  We have about 3/4 of the cake left, which we will give to the doorman in the morning. 

All in all, a fabulous bday in Peru.  Special shout out to Ms. Lizzie who somehow managed to get a hold of my Peruvian cell phone number, which I have given to almost no one.
