What a long day. After dinner I went to my room to descansar (rest – Peruvians love this word – so do I). My room is a disaster right now so I quickly moved a few things out of the way and laid on top of others. I toyed with the idea of going to the internet. I thought, “really I should go, I need to update my blog and send some important e-mails, plus I’d really like to see what the news is saying about the quake.” But I really didn’t want to go, I didn’t even want to get my computer out of my bag. But it has been so long I really needed to. But I didn’t want to… This internal battle went on for about 5 minutes until POOF! Electricity went out. Guess that answers that question huh? It was great, I sat in complete peace for almost a whole 60 seconds just enjoying the complete darkness. Then I felt guilty that my family was running around the house in the darkness. So, being the helpful little girl I am, I got up and shared my headlamp and flashlight with my family. I even got out and lit my extra special candle for them. The kids love the head lamp, I think they think I’m a little crazy with a light on my head though. That’s ok though because at times I think they’re crazy too (and they don’t have lights on their heads).
30 minutes of fun in the dark and the electricity was back.

we were really cool with our awesome head lights.
maybe we can use them to send signals to each other from our new houses. like morse code. but we will rename it. briff code.
