Boricua en la Lima

In honor of an amazing Closing Ceremony last night I finally found the video that they played everywhere which I loved so much.  I still can't watch it without my hairs standing on end! In the meantime, we are house hunting, school hunting, car hunting, etc.  A welcome reprieve was to run 20-21 KM last Saturday morning with Jose's cousin and his wife who are training for the Chicago marathon in October.  While 20-21 KM is definitely more (a lot more!!!!) than I would normally run my body was craving exercise after the trip here and all this incredibly fattening (and yummy) Peruvian food.  So hopefully I can go out with them again this Saturday morning, we are supposed to run 2 hours and 45 minutes.  Definitely an exercise in mind over matter as I've never run that much time before! Gabi was able to get into the school we wanted and Sebas is starting his day care the day after tomorrow.  Both seem really happy with the move so far.  I just dream...

We are just coming back from an overnight trip to London to see Madonna in Hyde Park. Our penultimate stop on the European tour before we head over to Lima on August 8th. Our flight from Geneva yesterday morning was delayed for 4 hours so we almost didn't take the trip after all. But we ended up going back to the airport after a cat nap and headed out to London with just enough time to eat at Chipotle (husband's London cravings), get lost around Regent Street (where they have now put up all the countries' flags for the Olympics) and head over to Hyde Park with aching feet from walking too much in cheap sandals (it's been an eventful week for my feet with Zumba-related complications as well which didn't let me wear tennis shoes!). The atmosphere at Hyde Park for a concert is an incredible thing to see. Such a diverse array of people - some of them young, some of them old (ahem, us), a lot of them gay, a lot of them dressed in crazy Madonna 80's outfits, and ...

Just a couple of days ago this Coldplay footage from the European tour showed up on Perez Hilton and since we have just been to the concert I thought I would share!
