Two entries in one day!?
Today merits two entries. We had a lot of fun.
After breakfast, we decided to wander around Miraflores a little. We visited. oh. what was it called. It was a very neat huaca.. pucllyapa? I have forgotten the name.
Anyways, the tour guide was very nice. We met a man from Norway and three Peruvian hairless dogs. They were very sweet, and man, could they run! It was like, ZOOM. they're over there! ZOOM. they're over here! ZOOM!
The buses here are amazing! They are small but the frequency is ridiculous. They're everywhere! It's a lot of fun. We wandered around central Miraflores and ate vegetarien food, then Thomas got a haircut because he didn't bring shampoo.
Miraflores is very lively at night. I think there's more people out at night than in the daytime, there are vendors all over the place! We found a little market and i bought a cute bracelet for 2 soles but I dropped it very shortly afterwards. Luckily, 2 soles is only equal to about 66 cents. I am on the lookout for presents for people, if you have any suggestions please make them known to me. :)
Miraflores is nice at night. My spanish is improving a little, I can complete a corner-store transaction without the vendor knowing I don't speak much castellano. I can also understand what most people are saying to me, but still wind up just waving my hands trying to remember how to say things and smiling and apologizing a lot. I told vendors I spoke french, because that is much cooler. They'll never know I'm not, hahahaha. I always feel embarrassed when people just start talking in english. So, Maddy speaks no more english in Peru. Maddy speaks french and un poco de castellano (i don't know if that's right.)
Tomorrow night, we hit up some discos.
To Monique: Inca Kola tastes like bubblegum. It is pretty awesome. I hate to say i don't know if i can bring you any back, but... i don't think i can bring you any back. I can't bring it as carry-on, and if I put it in my bag it will explode when it opens because doubtless it will get shaken A LOT. Let me know <3
