howdy, howdy, howdy! so, it is officially local peach season here which is dynamite! i had a hankering for a fruit salad the other day and had a great mixture of bananas and peaches. mmm good. the other photo was taken while in the largest city here in the country. we were trying to find our way somewhere in town and happened upon this total mob of people. it isn't pictured completely well here, but beyond the red taxis there you can see the total mob of people. it was kind of overwhelming. then we went to go get some food from a huge supermarket and there were people everywhere--it was so crowded there, too. it can be overwhelming to even the most extroverted extrovert. :)

then we got to our friends' house for a get together. i was in charge of making up these trays of sliced meats and tomato, cheese, and lettuce. my dad taught me well: "presentation is everything". i really, really enjoyed getting to use my gifts at this get together. sometimes it just feels good to be a part of something and help make a get together special. the next photo is of my most recent package! thanks so much to my family up north! you guys totally made me smile and i am really grateful for the gifts sent. i really appreciate all your encouragement through packages, emails, and phone calls. it truly means so much to me. more soon!
