WordCamp Lima 2014: the Better Late Than Never Edition

I was looking through my post drafts and I realized that I never published this one about WordCamp Lima.  Am I the only one that types up drafts and never publishes them? Probably not.

The night before WordCamp the organizers and speakers went to a bar on a cliff edge. I was a tad nervous because, well, earthquakes. But we made it through. The company was delightful and the the Pisco Sour and the Picarones were delectable:

My family lived in Lima for 4 years before I was born, then they left for a few years and we went back when I was in Kindergarten. I had a little bit of free time and my friend Diego and his girlfriend Samantha took me on a brief walk to see our old family homes:

And last but not least, my presentation:
