The taxi is the next eventful step to arriving in Miraflores. I specifically asked the drivers if they knew where the address was that we were trying to get to. The first one said no, but the second taxi driver said he knew the street. I think he must have been having a very bad day because he kept ranting about how he should be studying instead of working right then. It also turned out that he didn't know where the street was so I had to call Marianna for directions, not the easiest thing to do over the phone and in Spanish.
We finally found the apartment and all of the pieces were so colorful. There were a couple of other students who were also showing their work, mostly hair pins, bags, and clothes. I bought a few clips, 2 from Marianna.

Sarah had yet to see the ocean from Peru so I wanted to take her to Larcomar, a shopping center that is built into the cliff that overlooks the sea. After getting some really good ice cream (it was easier to realize that they use the same system as the movie theater), we walked around a bit and enjoyed the ocean air. It was nice to be able to just relax instead of running all over the city which is what we end up doing most weekends. I found the micro that goes down Benavides in Miraflores as well as La Marina, which is 5 blocks from my apartment. That will come in handy since I am going to Mama Olga's house tomorrow for lunch!

Tonight will be as equally chill as the day. A couple of friends are coming over to hang out, and hopefully help me with my chronicle written in Old Spanish that I have to read for Tuesday (gracias Luis!!). There might even be a full cultural exchange taking place since it is my turn to pick the movie and I have a feeling I'm going with "Miracle" (if only I had "The Mighty Ducks" on DVD).
