Magic Fountains

January 25
From Sue (& Eric)
We've posted some photos and video of our Saturday evening venture to see the world's largest fountain park here in Lima. It was very beautiful and innovative. It was also very crowded as it is summer and a Saturday night. One of the really neat things was a fountain tunnel we walked through. There was also a fountain/laser show which was pretty cool. They played all sorts of music (Beatles, a little Queen, John Williams) and then projected laser images into the water. There was a patriotic sequence where they played native music and showed images from around Peru and you could hear the crowd react to that. It reminded me of the way we felt when we went to see the light show at Mt. Rushmore-very patriotic.
We continue to enjoy the time we are spending worshiping at Flamingo Road Church. We were all convicted during the message yesterday on Jonah ch. 2 about surrendering to God. We then enjoyed another cultural experience going to Bembo's for lunch. They have a wide variety of burgers which means poor Eric had to again communicate on our behalf. We then walked over to the Wong grocery store (no, the right one..... oh sorry, thought we were doing Elmer Fudd there) where we loaded up on junk food we can't get at the Vivanda. We spent some time skyping with family and friends and got to watch the Colts win! The second game wasn't televised here so we felt pretty fortunate. And then to top it all off-the Vikings lost! What a weekend!
