Thirsty Thursday
Well, Caroline and I survived last night which turned into quite an expedition from Los Perros to Bar 7 and then to Mama Africa, the bar/club which I always know is a sign to go home as soon as I get there. It was a fun night though, great dinner at Los Perros, met up with some friends at Bar 7 and had an all around good time and maybe accidentally both had our fair share of drinks (well how can you not, really!)
After a not long enough sleep I was up early to get my truly hot water. C slept in and I puttered about and kindly asked the maid (my landlords, not mine obviously) to please clean out the disgusting stinking rabbit hutch that is under my kitchen window as the flies and smell are all getting to be a bit much. We shall see. We shall also see if my 3rd request to stop overwatering the plants by the door is followed as they are both dying by drowning and the water really stinks (sense a trend?) But they were all busy painting our building (talk about last minute) for Inti Raymi. The funniest part of all this painting is that half of the painters do a piss poor job with whitewash which makes the house looks night except they leave white paint all over the ground and splatter all over everything else. Kind of defeats the purpose of making everything look nice by painting it, eh?
But we´ve got our Cusco flags now, Caroline is in the Plaza watching what is sure to be a lengthy recessional of all the saints statues back to their respective churches. Drunken insanity and very bad brass band playing will be sure to ensure. (They all play the same song, over and over again, badly and probably never play or practice except for this time of year and assume they remember the notes. Classic.
Well, I´m technically working at the moment so no chance to add more photos now...I promise they will come soon!
