Merry Christmas, Happy Yuletide from our little corner of the world!

Today is the southern hemisphere summer solstice which coincides with the end of the school year as well in Peru.  So we are having various celebrations with children and adults.

Yesterday we sang carols in 3 languages, German, English and Spanish while I and volunteers Tara and Johanna played 3 guitars.

I played an Ovation 12-string guitar which I recently brought back from the USA.  It has a nice bright sound.

Later in the evening we played host to a dinner for 20 grandmothers of Sauce at a new local restaurant.

Previously we had end of year celebrations for the children who attend Estrella de Sauce with gifts, carols and good things to eat and drink.

Grandchildren Zair and Xiara and I had fun inflating 100 pelotas (kick balls) with my compressor.
