Happy 4th! (and Mes de la Patria)

Happy Independence Day to all. We're throwing a 4ht of July party on the lawn behind the retreat house at the parish in Andahuaylillas. There's plenty of chili and cornbread so come on by.

Also, July in Peru is Mes de la Patria (Month of the Fatherland). Independence day is the 28th. So this month we'll look at the history of how the first Spanish colony in South America became the last to declare independence.
