| The inspiration of the balloon party |
 |
| Close enough. |
The weekend of June 9-10, we headed into Lima. Pacifico had a random balloon hair party inspired by some photo someone found online. Basically we all hung out at Tati's apartment and tied helium balloons into small braids in our hair to make them float. It was such a random awesome thing to do. Haha I'm so glad that AIESECers are so nonjudgmental and open people. We (of course) took pictures (outside, where we lost many a balloon to the wind). Then we went to karaoke. This was so much more fun than I anticipated. I claim no great music ability, but then again, I don't think anyone else in the room could either, so it felt like a pretty level playing field. We spent hours that night in a private karaoke box at some restaurant, belting out spanish and english songs. There was no shortage of passion, and songs like "Someone Like You" were shameless favorites.

| Ice cream with Mathilde and Alena (and others!) |
All of us slept at our buddy's houses like usual, and Tati, Alena, and I went to church in the morning. Tati's church is tiny and welcoming. The sermons are, of course, in spanish, but the first time we went, there was an american who had been in Perú for a couple of years giving the message so his spanish was very easy to understand. The other times, we do the best we can. I know I can pretty much understand everything the speaker says, I just have to really pay attention. After church, we met up with the others and got ice-cream (a favorite ritual of ours). Then it was back to Chosica.
