I had a great day of junket preparation with my Peruvian friend Pepe! Pepe was an exchange student in our home town Owego, NY in 1989-1990, and he’s kept in touch with his hosts (the Gray family) and my mother ever since. We met up today in Colan / Paita and had a great lunch, and also I had Pepe accompany me on a shopping trip, where he did some crucial translating for me.
For all his help, Pepe is the first rubber ducky recipient!
