Today is Saturday which means hanging out with Nini! Mi mama peruana :) One of our coworkers from Spanish camp had a friend coming to Peru for a teachers' seminar, Mariam. So today we went to a couple museums so that she could take photos for her students. Before we got going though we had to stop by Movistar and now I finally have a working cell phone! But I only have 19 minutes left so no one call me :) I saw way more that I could possibly take in and remember but I did learn quite a bit about the Shinning Path era. It was even more interesting because afterward at supper Nini and her husband Max told us about it from their perspectives. It was so hot out that we stopped by Larcomar, which is a lot like la plaza de San Miguel but it's right on the ocean. The breeze was marvelous! We also went to la Plaza Mayor where the cathedral and the president's house are.
Of course we had to go shopping. First we stopped by a small jewelry store to get necklaces and earrings for Spanish camp. The guy who was helping us seemed nice but I couldn't understand him what so ever. I don't think he thought I spoke Spanish because he would try to speak in English but that was even harder to understand. We got all the Spanish interns gifts. Nini said we should get Mateo and Javier the same shirt so that they don't fight over them, los ninos! y no te preocupes Adry, ya tenemos una camiseta de Inca Kola para ti! At one point a woman came over the loud speaker to say that a child had been found wandering and would Brian's mom please come to the Pisco bar to claim him!! I'm not sure, but I might have been the only one who found that entertaining. :) Supper was comprised of empanadas and Inca Kola. It was amazing, especially after a full day of tromping all throughout the city! Next Saturday will be the second pijamada at Nini's house. Only this one will be planned . . . not that the first sleepover wasn't fun, just a bit unexpected. And there are plans to hunt down Lima's best made alfajor which apparently lies in Miraflores next to the Casa Andina. Don't worry Celeste, Nini and I are on it!
