That was quite frustrating. The blog was down. But now, thanks to the Szajts, we are back in business.
Last night was really fun. We had no plan and bussed into Huancaco to visit the market and act like real tourists for awhile. We found a fun little pizza joint where it was Happy Hour. Everyone enjoyed their strawberry daquiries and pisco sours. We did a little shopping and started looking for some live music. We were told about a place closer to our hotel so we jumped back on a bus. No sooner had the bus started moving than I spied two traditional Incan street musicians outside a little restaurant. In less than 10 seconds we were off the bus again. We sat outside the restaurant, enjoyed their amazing music and had a bottle of wine. The night was perfect. We bought two of their CDs so we'll be able to share. Shea's camera was out of battery so no pics - although I'm pretty sure Bree will have some.
Bussed back to the hotel and sat in the lounge for awhile. Met Douglas, a Brazilian who is travelling all over South America. We had a really enjoyable time chatting with him. He was most impressed that we would take on this "dangerous" assignment - bringing shoes to the kids in Peru. We never really took the danger part all that seriously...however, I guess I must confess here that my camera was stolen during the festivities yesterday.
Charo - our hostess was so upset and the kids told her that they had seen it happening. They identified who had it and a bit of a yelling match ensued. But the family responsible for stealing it is notorious and very dangerous....needless to say - we didn't choose to pursue the matter.
I'm sorry that I have lost my photos. I care significantly less about the camera itself. But most importantly, we had a wonderful party, incredible life-long memories, and everyone is safe and sound.
