A dear friend of Brian's family, Gloria Escobar, is visiting the U.S. from Peru and Brian's Mom, Jean, brought her to the house to meet Connor. It was a lot of fun for all of us, but especially for Connor who thought that hearing Gloria speaking Spanish was quite entertaining - or maybe it was just her excitement to see him and her experienced "baby skills", regardless of the language! Brian and I had the opportunity to visit Gloria's home in Cusco, Peru during a vacation there in 2006 as well as the facility, Manos Juntas, that she established to empower women by supporting them in making and selling various handicrafts, and offering courses in areas such as tailoring, nutrition, self-esteem, and domestic violence support.
