Another lovely day in Lima.
The morning went as usual, and we just practiced the various forms of the subjunctive during classes at El Sol. However, I finally said "ingenieria" correctly so that was a bonus.
After classes, a group of us headed over to Manolo's. I ordered a chicken, tomato and mozzarella sandwich (which was served more in pizza form as it was completely covered in cheese), and it was a delicious. The best part were the churros though. That's right, I had my first ever churro (and second and a half) and it was one of the best things I have ever tasted. It was filled with dulce de leech then drenched in warm chocolate; utterly wonderful.
Once the bill was paid (taxes here are ridiculous), we did a bit of souvenir shopping. There's one two foot alpaca that I really want to bring home (it's 100 US dollars - completely worth it), but I just do not think it would fit in my suitcase.. Que pena :( Don't worry, I picked up other Peruvian novelties, and am still trying to figure out a method of bringing the alpaca back to America.
After shopping, we all got our mani-pedis. Well, the boys only got the pedis, but I guess they win since they had fish eat the dead skin off of their feet.
Finally, it was time for salsa classes. That's right, I'm basically a professional now. Just kidding, unlike Shakira, my hips do not exist, therefore I struggled, but you know, I struggled and emerged. Regardless, it was a blast and I can't wait to practice soon.
I headed home, had the dinner Ana Maria left out for me, and now I am trying to finish my blog before going out (when in Peru, amirite?!). So, hasta la pasta amigos.
