Parents come to Huallanca

Over a month ago, my parents came to Peru and we had a fabulous time traveling to Cusco, Iquitos, and of course we spent some time in the area where I live; Huaraz and Huallanca.

Even though it was over a month ago, I want to share some photos because it's too precious not to share and I have had a hard time getting good enough internet to post. So here are some photos of when my parents came to my town and to Huaraz, the capital city of the state I live in.


We went to go look for my Peruvian mom and she was up on a hill gathering grass for the pig's bed so we had to climb a little mountain to get to them :) 

My wonderful Peruvian mom

We made pachamanca as a celebration of having my parents there.

They loved their pachamanca!

My dad entertaining some of the young boys with yoyo tricks.

It also happened to be my little sister's birthday so we celebrated that too :)

It was so beautiful having my US American and Peruvian families together! 

Great end to my parents visit in Huallanca :)

We also spent a few days in Huaraz and did some exploring there. We saw a beautiful glacier and my dad and I did a hike. My dad was feeling a bit nervous about the hike because of the altitude and feeling that he was out of shape. But he did a great job and made it to the top and I was so proud of him :-)

My best friend Ethan is currently visiting me so there will me more beautiful photos to come soon!
