La tía Karla

And so my brother Quique's wife Karla becomes the first of the family in Peru to experience the Xan Man. As you can see, they got along just fine -- perhaps because she helped feed him a bit while the three of us went to the (slightly damp) Staff Appreciation picnic yesterday. Karla and I then spent part of the afternoon at the memorials, plus I took her quickly to the ground sculpture called The Awakening at Hains Point. (Thanks, "greg," for the info!) All this before quickly running back to work before class. A frantic day, but fun -- and now Karla can return home and attest to the fact that Xan looks exactly like he does in the pictures.
