UN DÍA LIBRE

Today was our first free day! Other than our regular class schedule (9:00-12:00), we had the rest of the day to explore. A bunch of us went to "Punto Azul," a restaurant recommended to us by our host mom, Aida. Feeling adventurous, I ordered fetuccine with octopus ink sauce and seafood. It was delicious! At times, the ink also provided me with a deep, alluring lip gloss color. Food that looks like makeup..wow..great job Punto Azul!

Fooooooood

I think we were all very excited not to be eating rice and as an outcome, ate very quickly. Feeling v full, we walked around the city. A couple of people wanted to try paragliding on the coast, so we all went to watch. It was a little scary to see my friends strapped to large Peruvian men running off the city's 100ft cliffs. But they all came back in one piece! Except for Kate. Kate left a chunk of her butt on the park as she dragged along the grass trying to stop her parachute. Afterwards, we played a 4v4 game of frisbee! Yay frisbee!

Today was a much needed day of relaxation. Tomorrow will be another early day. Ally and I have to leave the house at 5:30am to travel with the rest of the group to Caral, the oldest civilization in South America!
