A Totally New Year

In 2009, I will:

1. Amanecer una fiesta. — In Spanish, amanecer literally means "to dawn." In Peru, it means to dance until morning. I plan on accomplishing this one New Year's Eve-Day, 5th Grade sleepover style: fueled by caffeine/sugar and peer pressure.
2. Make homemade peanut butter. — I already have the recipe!
3. Grow something. — I'm thinking lettuce.
4. See Grupo 5 live. — Grupo 5 is probably the greatest cumbia band in all of Peru. Roughly 5/6 cumbia songs on the radio are by them.
5. Go to Mancora. — Rumored to be the most beautiful beach in Peru and conveniently located two 1/2 hours from my site.
6. Do something totally unforgettable for someone else. — I haven't quite figured this one out yet ...
7. Re-read Harry Potter 1-7. — Purely selfish on my part.
   

These, of course, are all in addition to the vanilla new year's resolutions: self-improvements ... mind, body and soul.

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
