Hello All, firstly thank you so much to all of you for your Christmas and Birthday messages they were lovley to recieve.
So Christmas is over again for another year, I hope you all enjoyed yours. The lead up to ours was hectic but fun, we got involved in a lot of chirstmas parties and chocolatadas for the local children which was fun and we went to the hopital to give out presents and things and had meals with our projects etc, all of which helped us get into the Christmas spirit.
Christmas eve here in cusco is crazy,the whole square turns into a huge market, selling lots of chirstmas decorationsand crafts, it was amazing to see, it just arrives in the morning and is gone by the evening! We spent Christmas eve with a group of friends here and had a nice meal and a lot of drinks, and some crazy dangerous firewroks in the square - all very good fun. Christmas day was spend in the irish bar, until we went for our traditional english turkey dinner in the evening (not that i lasted long enough to eat mine- i got sick). Boxing day was spent in bed, i was still ill so we did nothing but it was nice to do not a lot. My birthday was lovely i got spoilt with lots of presents from John, then we went for a massage which was just a little weird (dark alley, small back room type thing) but over all great. Finally got to eat my Christmas dinner as i was feeling better, and it appeared with birthday candles in my roast potatos and stufing, very festive. My birthday evening started with presents from all the gang here and a huge cake, which my face got shoved in as i blew out the candle, apparently that is tradition in Peru!!! We all went for dinner and drinks and had a brilliant evening, a very good birthday.
So that is about where we are up to right now, a few days off then New Year t look forward to, cannot wait.
We missed you all very much over Christmas and hope you al had really good ones. Lots of Love Aly and John xxxxx
