Happy New Year!  One of the funnest things about being in another country is to learn about its culture.  Here in Lima there is a tradition of giving things that are yellow to friends, family, and visitors for New Year's day.  Yellow brings everyone good luck so yellow flowers are really, really popular.

One of the most popular things to give away to someone for New Year's day is a yellow under ware.  Anyone want a pair?

Lots of yellow fruit is sold also.  Yummy.  Yellow tuna and granadillo is very popular to buy.

Here we are, the party animals, ready to revel into the wee morning hours.

Here I am with a yellow lai that one of our senior missionaries bought for us.  He knows that I need all the luck I can get.
