For the party and countdown to 2009 we returned to Barranco where we had a nice dinner and then tried to get yellow hats, as yellow is the lucky colour of new year here in Peru. Unfortunately we neither got the hats nor a bottle of champagne but we managed to find a collar or yellow plastic flowers and got a great start into 2009! We went to a couple of bars and ended up in one playing everything from 60s, 70s, 80s to salsa and lambada! We definately had a great time and if 2009 continues in this spirit it will be one of the best years, definately! :-)
So the new years resolution for 2009 is: traveling, being happy, making many friends and enjoying life to the max!
Happy new year and feliz año nuevo to all!
On the back of the entry ticket to the San Francisco museum and catacombs I found the prayer of Saint Francis which I´d like to share with you for the new year :-) Here comes the English translation...hope you like it as much as I do!
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace,
where there is hatred, let me sow love,
where there is injury, pardon,
where there is doubt, faith,
where there is despair, hope,
where there is darkness, light,
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved, as to love,
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
