Day 17/18

Here I am wearing my Beatles T-shirt in front of Inka...fe.

Yesterday and today were our free days on the trip so what did I do? I shopped! 

Yesterday, I went to one of the markets and bought a few (cough cough) things here and there. 

Afterwards, I went to a small cafe and got a chicken sandwich for 3 soles...followed by a dulce de lech bon bon...yum!

Then, I sat outside and wrote and did a little homework. It was a beautiful day.

For dinner I went to go get lamb's heart on a stick. Once I saw the lamb's hearts, I couldn't get past the sight, so I only tried a bite of my friend's. It wasn't bad...but it definitely isn't something I'd like to ever eat a lot of.

OH! Yesterday was Independence Day in Peru, so at night, we went to a club called, "Mama Afrika." It was VERY fun. We caught the end of a salsa class and then danced the night away! There were a lot of Pitbull songs in rotation that made for very fun and recognizable dance tunes.

I took a cab home from Mama Afrika with Cristina and Luis. Our cab got rear-ended while we were in it. We had to pull over on a side road and sit patiently in our cab as our cab driver and the other cab driver argued about the damage.

Sigh.

Don't worry, no one was hurt.

TODAY MARKS THE HALFWAY MARK OF MY TRIP

Today, I got up and went shopping...again.

I bought a few things (cough cough) here and there are the market. Then, Cristina, Nichole and I went to a new place to eat called Inka...fe. [[Get it?!]]

The food there was delicious. Below is a picture of what I ate - a veggie sandwich!

I also got a cup of coffee, which was also delicious.

NOTE: I have only had 5 cups of coffee the whole duration of my trip. For those of you who know me, be impressed =)

After lunch at Inka...fe, we briefly went back to the hostel. Estefania and I then ventured off to Plaza de Armas.

I bought a new hat.

Here I am in my new hat

I got a hair wrap...from some Peruivan hippies.

Here I am getting my hair wrapped.

After, we went to Bembo's. Bembo's is a fast food chain in Peru. I got an ice cream sundae and a burger. Both were delicious.

Then I came home.

Now that I am home, I am writing my last journal entry for school and then I will be going to bed shortly. I have my first day of my last semester, here, in Peru tomorrow!

Hasta manana mis amores!
