Gracias por compartir tu historia con nosotros,

MKCT

Tienes mucha razon sobre lo que dices de los taxis, en Manhattan encuentras taxis en todos lados pero donde vivimo - Morris Park no hay taxis en ningun lado, estoy tan acostumbrada a tomar taxis en Lima y a movilizarme donde quiera que esto me molesta un poco, lo bueno es que la bicicleta me ayuda a moverme a donde quiera cerca a casa cuando Hubby no esta paa hacerla de chofer.

Ah, un taxi de Manhattan a mi casa te cuesta $35 aprox, no es tan tan caro felizmente.

Mucha suerte e tu entrevista!!

saludos

Can I tell our story? Can I tell it in English? I can speak Spanish/Castellano, but sometimes I butcher the grammar when I write. This is probably going to end up being kind of long, but anyway, here goes...

To start off, my name is Dennis and I'm the American citizen...Erika is my Peruvian queen. Our story started out when I worked with a friend named Andres who grew up in Peru and came to the US when the University of Kansas brought him here. We became friends when we worked at a job for a little while a few years back (2003, I think). I always told him that if he ever went down to Peru and wanted to bring any of his gringo friends that I would love to go some day. Eventually that day came in 2006. In July of 2006, I went down there with Andres and his wife and another couple. I was the fifth wheel and the only one who couldn't speak Spanish. Well, at the time I was tired of dealing with American women. I had always thought that Latin women are the most beautiful in the world and to top it off, had heard that they are very passionate and dedicated to their man...definitely MUCH better than what I had been dealing with here in the US. My partying days were over and I was looking to settle down if I met the right woman. So before we went down, I told Andres that I wanted to find myself a sweet, beautiful Latin woman while down in Peru. I didn't think I would in just two weeks but thought it would be worth a try So I sent him some pictures of me and he did some "marketing" for me before we went down I had a few potential dates lined up before we even got on the plane. But the second night we were in Lima we went to a party with a lot of people who Andres went to school with. That's where I met my sweetheart. My first impression was Wow! She looked gorgeous and seemed shy with a touch of confidence. We couldn't communicate so we just started dancing. Everyone at the party stopped what they were doing and started cheering us on like something straight out of Footloose, Peruvian style. Everyone was filming and taking pictures of Erika dancing with the crazy gringo. So after we danced, we had Andres translate for a little while and we ended up exchanging emails. For me, it was love at first sight, but I wasn't sure what she thought. The next day me and the two couples I was with left for Cusco but Erika and I emailed each other a few times a day while I was away from Lima. I wanted to see her again BAD!!! When we got back from Cusco Erika spent the first day with us. We had a lot of fun in Lima and a couple of beach towns to the south. The next day we were sitting on the couch at Andres' family's house with a pocket dictionary ("nuestro amigo"), trying to converse on our own. After several minutes, Erika did something I'll remember for the rest of my life. She flipped through and pointed out the word "matrimonio". I felt a warm and fuzzy feeling go through my body. I looked at her and she smiled nervously and gave me a look that said "What do you think????" I must have had the biggest smile on my face. I have to admit I was a little shocked but I thought about it for probably two or three seconds then shook my head up and down and said, "OK!" The rest, as they say, is history.

Unofficially, she brought up the idea, so I guess you could say she semi-proposed. But I didn't have to think about it for very long. It was definitely a love at first sight thing for both of us. I did the official proposal six months later when I requested permission to marry Erika, from her mother (her father passed away several years ago). Shortly after, I put the ring on her finger. My family was pretty nervous about everything but now that they've gotten to know her they absolutely love her and can see why I acted so fast

Hola a todos!!!!

Hace tiempo que no entro por esta web. Estoy full en los preparativos para mi viaje este 3 de marzo.

En el 2005 fui a Bismarck ND para un intercambio cultural. Fui a enseñar español en una universidad. Antes de viajar, entré el chat de yahoo para buscar gente de esa zona que me ayude con información sobre la ciudad y de las vías de acceso allí (bus, tren, avión, etc) pues viajaba de Lima a NY (donde tengo familia) y luego iba a Bismarck. Allí nos conocimos y hblábamos regularmente. Lo gracioso es que al inicio ambos sentíamos un poco de antipatía por el otro. Él era súper fastidoso y pues jamás pensé que podrámos tener una relación. Cuando llegué a USA, sólo nos vimos el primer día que llegué a la ciudad. Después de tres meses de sólo hablar por teléfono y a veces hasta discutir...jajaja... por fin salimos nuevamente y pues creo que allí empezamos a flecharnos...luego vinieron los meses más hermosos de mi vida, compartiendo con él mil cosas.... conociéndonos y queriéndonos día tras día. Luego de un año regresé a Perú. Tristeza por la separación. Tres meses después, él se aventuró a venir a Perú a verme por m cumpleaños y por nuestro aniversario... y me propuso matrimonio en noviembre del 2006. yeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... En enero 2007 empezamos a ser los papeles para la K1...y en marzo estuvimos mandando todo el paquete. El 4 de setiembre obtuvimos la Visa por fin. Por motivos personales y laborales, recién estoy viajando este 3 de marzo. Mi amorcito viene a recogerme y juntos iremos a nuestro pequeño pueblito jajajaja. Durante todo este tiempo, hablamos todos los días y Scott ha venido 3 veces a Perú y en agosto del año pasado fuimos a Cancún (luna de miel por adelantado jajajaja). Mi fmailia lo quiere muchísimo y su familia también me quiere bastante.

Enf in....creo que tdoos aquí en este forum compartimos este sentimiento... les deseo suerte a todos y que sigamos en contacto. Si les puedo ayudar en algo estoy para servirles.
