Oh my goodness!!!
You will not BELIEVE what just happened, unless you are one of the MANY people who was in on the secret and kept it so well.
On Sunday night, the doorbell rang, and Carlos went to go get it. He came back inside and told me that there were some guys outside who wanted to talk to me. I confess I was feeling rather exhausted and cranky, and didn't really want to go outside because I was cooking some grilled cheese sandwiches, but I went. And GUESS WHO IT WAS????
Alex and Nathan!!!!! They had come down to Peru to travel with Matt, and then came here to Bolivia, and had managed to keep the whole thing a secret from me!! Shirley and Carlos and Jeremy knew, and had known for months, but apparently I am totally oblivious. And then, the next morning, who should walk in but Dan Fryer!!! And later that night, we were joined by Brandon, who had taken a detour to the Island of the Sun but finally made it to La Paz.
I was SO shocked, and happy! I feel like I'm living in a dream, except I couldn't have imagined anything this fun happening!! Some of my favourite people in the whole world, coming sneakily down to visit me!!
Here are some photos of the boys around the house, and also of us at a big "clasico" soccer game last night. If it looks like I am the happiest girl in the world, it's because I AM!!
Love to everyone,
Rachael

I love the boys varying facial expressions around the table.
International surprises are the best- glad yours managed to stay a surprise! And props to Dan, the wild card, who surprised us back here in Victoria too! Hope everyone is adjusting to the altitude okay.
I knew about Nathan and, was it Alex? I was just picturing what it'd be like when they got there! Have a great time!
I was REALLY hoping for a video of the suprise attack on you! Ah, well, you can't have everything.
Such fun for everyone! It was hard not to say anything especially when I wasn't sure when they were to arrive! Kept looking for posts to see if the excitement had begun! Enjoy your special guests!
