Visite Bernard

Visite Bernard
Bernard, a university friend of Céline, arrived in Lima tonight. He's also geological engineer. He's visited me at home but Céline was still playing volleyball with the colleagues. We'll see him again soon, for sure. This is our first foreign visit in...

No te preocuuuupes!

There's an expression in spoken peruvian that speaks of itself. "No te preocuuuupes" basically means "Don't worry", but the way they pronounce it here, insisting on the "u", instantly makes you want to relax. It's one of these expressions that you don't...

Excited

Excited
Hello! I wanted to say how excited I am that we are soon moving in. I have taken some photos of our new building and the neighbourhood, as well as the ocean-view parc, Parque Domodossola, that is 4 blocks from our soon-to-be home. Go see them in the Miraflores...

First times

First times
Friday I saw my first road accident, a very small collision between a "combi" and a taxi at a crossroads. The taxi was on the middle lane and had cut in front of the combi to turn right. They were shouting but nothing overly exciting. That same day I...

In order to post comments, you have to leave a nickname and an e-mail address. As far as I know, it's just to avoid spamming (on our pretty blog) and canalblog doesn't use them. Translated in as many languages as we can:Pour pouvoir poster des commentaires,...
