*I went to the supermercado with my 3 Taiwanese roommates: Luz, Carolina and Monica. They are all very nice and helpful. My other roommates are Laura ( a wonderful girl from italy who studies Indigenous Human Rights..we have a lot to talk about!), and people of the following ethnicities whom I have yet to meet: 1 Austrian guy, 1 German guy, and 2 French girls. There is also Lucy, she cleans in the common areas in exchange for rent. She is Peruvian and really nice as well.
*Serena and I got lost every time we attempted to walk home. Its difficult when you think you recognize everything, and most of it is things you recognized when you were going the wrong way and didn't know it and still dont. If anybody knows me, they know I hate being lost.
*Tried both the national ham (?) and national non-alcoholic drink of Peru: Chicha, a sweet juice made of black corn. It was ok, a little too sweet and not my cup of tea at the moment. Also had my first Inca Kola, tasted subtly like bubble gum, but quite quenching.
*Met with Lisset, my University friend. She took us to the Plaza San Miguel and I took the craziest taxi ride of my life. Almost crashed (no exaggeration) and barely slide by, and saw a completely naked man walking down the side of the road while "Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith playing on the radio. I wouldn't have minded missing that "thing."
Blisters galore on my feet and I'm about to pass out, but thats ok because tomorrow its off to Punta Hermosa and Playa Santa Maria for 4 days of beach lounging, pisco drinking, and ceviche eating. Not in any particular order.
Miss you all!
