This morning Sarah arrived in Arequipa at 6:30. We are soooo glad she is here. She is such a great help taking care of her mom. Amy is doing better today, with less headaches and little nausea.
Today is Mia's 15th birthday. In case you haven't heard, a girl's 15th birthday (La Quinceañera) is a big deal in Latin America. Some girls have fiestas that rival weddings, except one doesn't have to bother with a groom. Mia has been at camp all week, so we went out to visit her and surprise her for lunch. She didn't know Sarah was going to be here!
Since we were at camp with its 50 acres of private property, we took advantage of the time to teach Ben to drive a manual transmission (our truck, not the tractor in the picture). After 20 minutes he was really getting the hang of it.
