¡Feliz Día de Independencia Perú!

Since I’ve been sick for the past three weeks, we haven’t been able to plan much of anything special and so Perú’s Día de Independencia kind of was brushed under the table.  (Although we did eat a yummy take-out Lomo Saltado from a super deli Peruvian Restaurante!)

The best way I can honor Perú on this day is to share again this video.  Peru’s Ministry of Tourism decided to invest in really advertizing the great things about Perú in order to increase tourism.  Although this video is a bit long….it really is worth it!  It captures aspects very peruanos in a comical way and had both mi esposo and I laughing a la carcajada and tears rolling down our faces!

¡Disfrútalo!

іFeliz Aniversario!

Would you say “I do” all over again? 

I would in a heartbeat!  Well, in my case, I said, “Sí” because we got married in Lima, Perú and I would DEFINITELY do that again!  For the last two years on our aniversario, I posted about how much fun our Culinary Wedding Weekend was for us and our familia and amigos. (At least that is what they tell us anyway!)  You can read all about the Boda and Video Synopsis, Hacienda, Culinary Extravaganza, and the Pachamanca by clicking on each respective link.

This year, mi esposo took the day off again so that we could celebrate our aniversario as a familia. We went out to breakfast together, played in the pool (yes because it was almost as hot in D.C. as it was in Lima four years ago!), ate lunch at Sofía’s favorite hang out and then the Novios dined together at the exquisito Blue Duck Tavern.

This past year, we went to Lima and Sofía was able to actually see the iglesia where we were married as well as the restaurante where we held our reception.  So with another year under her belt, the pictures, videos, and visits helped her understand our Special Day (as we explained it to her) un poco más.  Her comment?  Today I’m going to get married to Mami and Papi too!

Every día I think about how I would say Sí all over again – afterall, I married the Best Man In the World!
