So it’s the day after Machu and we all slept like babies… Well, one of us did. Lisa and Bea CANNOT wait to get back to their private room at Tia Gla’s. Someone please buy Peg a Breathe Right strip or something! Rene, how did you deal with this growing up; any suggestions would be helpful at this time.
We boarded a plane back to Lima and almost had to perform CPR on a passenger before take off. Bea kept a close eye on her watch while the poor lady was seizing because she knew Tia Gla would be waiting for us at the gate. Peg had drawn up plans for how to perform CPR in the cramp conditions of the plane and kept yelling out “oxygen.” Finally, she was carried off and we were on our way home to Lima.
Back in Lima we decided we had to repeat Day 1 and 2 to recapture lost pictures. Before repeating Day 1 we stopped by to say feliz cumpleanos to Tia Rosa. We were of course given food and Bea had her hair Chi’d while we all ate empanadas (Our 3rd tragedy being that the Chi will not work). Bea’s dad’s chauffeur took us around town to recapture pics at Indian Market, Larco Mar. We met up with one of Bea’s friends and had dessert (this was about the 6th meal of the day).
We were on a mission to repeat night 1, the most memorable night in Lima thus far (ie. When Peg met Pisco sour). We found a famous bar, Ayahuasca, built in an old Colonial house. Its was an amazing place with great music. Bea immediately tested the table strength just in case the night called for dancing on table tops. Peg tried another Pisco sour, but stopped with one this time (although she was caught many times gypsying Bea’s martini). Lisa took Trinh’s advice and drank amazing Mojitos, while Bea stuck with her usual of strawberry margarita and martinis. Our waiters name was Christian and took very good care of us, even though Bea kept making him uncomfortable by asking for descriptions of suggestive drink names. We've never seen a bartender turn so red and sweat so much when taking an order. Video to follow soon. Peg and Lisa enjoyed their first anticuchos. For those of you that don't know (and Peg and Lisa did not know) this is cow heart. Bea earned a point when she got invited to the “basement” by the bar owner. Like a good girl she ran to her SL to ask for permission. Lisa accompanied Bea for protection, but Peg was not going for it and stayed back with the cousins. Turns out the basement was an actual basement behind a hidden wall and opens on the weekend as another discoteca. Pics of this cannot be posted as this location is top secret and we had to sign a waiver to be released from the basement.
We did not learn anything about Peru today.
Points up to date…
Bea earned one for the basement invitation. Peg is still claiming points when random locals make any eye contact with her. Lisa is still looking for a Chi….
Peg 4, Lisa 4, Bea 3.5
Yeah- you made it and are alive!!! Your kids were a little wild today at dinner and ate butter noodles. Lets just say, they were glowing when they finished. Hope you recover your picture taking. Don't forget to eat ceviche!!! Also, make sure the movies work before you come- let tia gla pack your pirated items since they will check your luggages before you leave, and she is an expert at smuggling items to the USA!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly, there are no tricks to stop the snoring. I can only pray that you all get your private rooms back soon.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that you haven't reported any random bedtime singing...it sounds like pisco sours might be able to induce Peg to break into song...ask her about the story.
Pictures are beautiful! Keep 'em coming, girls!
