Dancing the Blues Away
Hope you enjoy the above video, all of the dancers are from Monsefú except for the teenage girl. The others are winners from various marinera competitions in Monsefú. I took this video at a recent parade I participated in (my count is now up to 3) in Chiclayo. How precious are the niños? I'm definitely stealing that little boy, don't tell his mom. The little girl, Daniela, lovvves her marinera dress and has quite the stage presence. I have yet to learn la marinera, but hope I find a non-creepy teacher soon.
I'm still having a hard time finding a way to deal with my cultural frustrations. Volunteers are really right when they say the things you think will be hard aren't, and things you can't expect will be the hardest. I'm hoping everything will be resolved somewhat soon, meanwhile I am planning my first day-trip to the beach on Sunday, with my Volunteer friend Hallie.

I hope you had a nice day at the beach and had some time to relax. Just remember that nothing comes easy that is really worth having it’s the hard hard that make it better. Also your host family I’m sure is having a rough time. Hang tough and keep up head up and don’t stop believing in yourself. J
