The view is of the entire city of Lima from the Cerro San Cristóbol.
Here we have Gabi( Mariana's sister), me, Sarah, Mariana, and Silvana (Mariana's other sister) at the base of the cruz de San Cristóbol. The weekends here have proven to be just as crazy as the week. One thing that was confirmed for me that day is that I cannot go to the changing of the guards at the Presidential palace without getting sunburnt (I was wearing sunblock I swear!). Maybe if it wasn't at noon everyday, it would be a different story but as of now it is Sun: 2, Sara: 0
Leading to yesterday . . .
Gold star for me, I have finally figured out the public transportation enough so that I can get around most parts of the city on my own. Yesterday I met up with Mariana, her sister Silvana, and a friend from school. We went to see her boyfriend, Gabriel, perform in a version of The Lord of the Flies (El Señor de las Moscas) at the Biblioteca Nacional. The library is right on Javier Prado, the main street in Lima so I had no problem finding a micro. I did have a problem with the fact that my cellphone subscription decided to choose that night to end so I couldn't call Mariana but I found my way. (it was also an interesting journey since I was wearing a dress, which gave me even more weird looks than normal) The play was very good, and I understood most of what was said. Afterward we all went to the casa of Mariana's grandma for a birthday party for her other sister, Gabi. I didn't know anyone besides the family and a couple of friends but it was lots of fun. Mariana was on a mission to get everyone dancing so there were about 5 of us that were required to dance so that more people would start.
Me, Gabriel, and Mariana.
Of course with so much going on yesterday, I wasn't able to get a ton of homework done . . . meaning that most of the 200 pages I need to read for my control (test) tomorrow, have been left for today. At least this reading is in English! Como se dice "procrastination" en español?
