... peruvian dinner for us. Mom, Cindy and fam came over and ate with us. We were able to show them pictures and give everyone hugs! <br><br>Now it's reflection time! It will take a few days to process all that has happened. Peru is an amazing place and will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Decatur, AL is not the kind of place you want to get out and explore... even less so is where our hotel was in the nearby town of Athens, AL. We pulled in on Saturday night, about 8pm, and quickly realized that we weren't in Kansas anymore... or rather, New Orleans.

That is pretty impressive..Oh have I mentioned that now it's dark out and the 4 devil spawns that are riding w/ me decide they are going to take random pictures in the car. What does the mean? Well it means they need to use their flash. My car ...

... NOT MIND YOU GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO THEM. THIS IS A LITTLE UNUSUAL. MAYBE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TEASED A LOT. WE WALKED ALL OVER THE PARK. THIS PARK DOES HAVE CAMPING AREAS AND A POOL. WE TOOK A GROUP OF MISSIONETTES FROM OUR CHURCH FOR A FAMILY OUTING AND IT WENT WELL! ANYWAY BACK TO OUR WALK. I WILL ADD THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY JUST RIGHT FOR OUR WALK.

... that visit very much. we then were treated to massages by 5 trained massage therapists which was a huge treat. Then we went to a mall that was like a small city- kind of like Plainfield Metropolis, but 2x bigger and we ate steaks and seafood. We are treated so well on this trip. tomorrow could be a monster since we are going to Chattanooga.

(53) AUGUST 23, 2009<br>YOU KNOW? WE TOOK LITTLE BIT INTO HUNTSVILLE WHILE MOM AND<br>DAD TOOK IN A WELL DESERVED MOVIE BY THEMSELVES. SO, WE<br>WENT TO THE BIG SPRINGS PARK.

THE SMELLS; THE CRAFTS; THE CLOTHES; THE DANCES; THE MUSIC ALL FROM ANOTHER TIME. THE WEATHER WAS PRETTY COOL SO ALL WAS WONDERFUL. THAT IS UNLESS YOU DIDN'T BRING A WARM JACKET. THE LAND WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I AM SO GLAD WE WENT! GOING BACK! LORD WILLING...<br>

... around in a foreign language, but to do so on her native island and in reference to her dog, who was not bothering anyone. So, the Germans having conquered that beach, we retreated to Josep's dad's house, where we swam in his incredibly nice pool overlooking Santa Ponça Bay, and chatted a bit with his dad´s housekeeper, who they told me was a Bulgarian Olympic rhythmic gymnast. Yeah, so that was interesting. And at that point it was time for some cliff-jumping, so we drove around to ...
