The deep significance of Mother's Day in Puerto Supe is a complete mystery to me (although I'm all about my mom... more on that tomorrow!). The women of our church have been planning for it for at least a month. For the third year in a row, we celebrated the occasion with a Ladies' Night Out to a rotisserie chicken restaurant in Barranca. It cost each woman a little over $3, which is a huge deal. Obviously this night out is a major priority.I could go on with cross-cultural commentary, but instead, let me just say that I had a lovely night with these women that have come to be a big part of my life. They are sweet, funny, and so endearing. Their excitement last night was contagious. I'm glad they've let me into their world.
