Se fue mi conejo

Sorry to keep all yall in suspense, but my rabbit has left me :( Soon after my last post, mi conejo hopped into my room, slowly but surely, and hid behind my chair. We couldnt get her to leave. My sister tried picking her up with some newspapers but the rabbit peed on her, and us being girls, ran out of the room screaming. Then my mom walks in, with the attitude of ¨gosh, quit being sissies and just pick up the dang rabbit!¨ And thats what she did, picked it up in two seconds, marched up the stairs, opened the back door, and through it outside. I havent seen it since. My sister told me she thinks its going to play with the other rabbit next door. But something tells me that rabbit will not be doing much playing!

Well a couple of weeks ago we had our reconnect in a beautiful beach town in La Libertad, Huanchaco. It was such a breath of fresh air to be in a touristy place and be away from the poverty we are faced with day in and day out. It was also super nice to not be harrassed! That right there might have been the highlight of my trip! But seeing all the ppl in my group was great. We had a couple of meetings with our bosses, and we each had to give a presentation of our site and our work, but for the most part, it was vacation. We had a pool in our resort that had mountains in the background. It was sweet swimming in this pool and looking off into the distance seeing those mountains.

Reconnect also brought great food! I finally found some mexican food that was freaking rico! They had nachos, burritos, guacamole, tacos...all that delicious mexican food I´ve been missing! And I got to go surfing for my first time ever! I´ve ALWAYS wanted to know how to surf and I finally got the opportunity to take lessons. It was so much fun! I loved being out in the middle of the water with no one else around. Its just you with nature. Little can beat that.

Right now I am planning for Christmas, YEA! I am going to have some baking classes with my artisans. I love baking candies and cookies and you most def have to do this for Christmas. So from now till Christmas I am going to have 2 baking classes a week. That might be a bit expensive, but bringing a taste of home here during the holidays doesnt have a price. Merry Christmas to everyone. Have a great holiday!
