2nd Pisco Sour

Well, we met up with our tour group today. I'm pretty excited about out group, we're roughly the same age and everyone is pretty fabulous. There's another teacher in the group (from the UK) and a few bankers. I think it'll be a good couple of weeks. Our tour guide is especially fabulouso! She is fiery and passionate about her country. I'm already in love with her. Today was a tourist's day. We saw the San Fransisco catacombs-aka-I saw a lot of bones today. Yes, human remains. They were mostly arranged by bone type: tibia, femur, skulls, etc. There were bones in a well that were even arranged in a circle. Very strange. At one point, we were informed that only 4 meters below us were even more remains. That was weird and made me very conscious of where I stood. After that very bizar tour, our guide took us through some of the squares and showed us some of the old colonial buildings. However because of earthquakes most of those Buildings were destroyed. Where they still stood was a seedy part of town. We were considering going there and as soon as we decided not to a bunch of policia started marching across the bridge. Eek! From there we went to "Boliviarda" to have a "pure" Pisco sour. Mine was "cathedral size" and it really was! From there we went to dinner and omg was it ever fabulouso. It was one of the restaurants run by a famous chef in Peru, and I must say, the food here is moi delicioso! The best asparagus stuffed ravioli ever. I keep asking Darren to go fetch me some churros to properly round up the night, but he won't. Well, after out amazing dinner it was back to our hotel, and here we are. We have an early morning, departing at 715 for the Amazon so it's early to bed tonight. Not sure when we'll have wifi again. I doubt the Amazon will. So as long as we don't get eaten by piranhas while we're fishing I'll keep you posted. Buenos Noches!
