Hello Dear Readers,
So, last Saturday was the 4th of July, and we American did not miss the chance to celebrate & represent the USA abroad! On of the guys in my group, Colten, organized the entire party. We had, as you can see from the pictures, Red,white, and blue streamers, balloons, flowers, tablecloths, etc. We even had an American flag! (which is still hang in the courtyard.)
Colten was also able to find a Piñata in the shape of a mug of Cusquena, which is their local beer.
Another group of students in a Geomatics program that Alexei is also associated with arrived today, so it was a great way to introduce ourselves to all of them. Now the mansion is full.
We BBQ'd hot dogs and burgers, and had soda and a cake in the shape of an American flag!
Colten, had to draw a diagram of the USA flag, labeling the correct colors and # of stars in spanish so they would get it right. That's some patriotism! We had a blast, it was a great day to meet new people and be American. There were even some famous South American Archaeologists that are Alexei's colleagues that came! The owner of the mansion, Mercedes, even bought us Sparklers! Unfortunately we didn't have any other exciting fireworks, but we all enjoyed ourselves very much.
