I know you hate it when I don't write for a while! Sorry! So I bought a new camera (for the second time in Peru) and it inspired me to stop being lazy and post my pictures! If you are a facebook friend, there are about 200 new photos of Olympics and Centro de Lima and all sorts of fun stuff! This weekend was the birthday of my Mama here so we had fun with that! On Saturday, Martine, Mama, Vale y yo fuimos al zoo. It was great! They mostly had animals native to Peru, a ton of birds! A bunch of hawks, photos for Mom! My favorite is the big cats, and there were these lovely baby jaguars (they moved too much for good pics, but mom was beautiful too.) Their spots were just coming in! Lindos... Then at midnight we gave Mama her cake and her gift, but she had a scavenger hunt to find it. It was a new camera!
Yesterday, for her birthday day, we went to Pachacamac. In a micro, like a little bus. It was a long ride, but super fun with Martine and Valeria and Mama! I got to give my seat up for an older man too! Huge ego boost! We went to the ruins first, it looked really pretty, but we couldn't get very close (lame!) I really wanted to stand where I know an Inca stood or something! After walking around the ruins for a while, we hopped back on a micro for the pueblo de Pachacamac for lunch. We ate pollo a la brasa (like charcoal roasted chicken) and salchipapas ( just fries with hotdog bits)! Then we discovered a Marinera presentation outside! Amazing! I love watching the little kids dance with the adults, it's so cute, like a Shirley Temple movie! We just took our micro home after that.
Martine y yo had to walk around the market of course for arroz con leche and picarrones! We also looked in the small stores for a wallet and a headband! Fun stuff! Only school today, and my tutor.
Chau to all and I can't wait to show off my mad Spanish skills!
