been a while again....
Yes, yes…. Mucho tiempo otra vez that I haven’t written anything…. Lo siento mucho….. but been living my life here in Lima….having a really good time…. It’s still very hot and sunny aqui en Peru at the moment….around 28 – 30 C every day….nice…!!Last Saturday, I went to an Open-Air classical concert in a park on the Malecon here with my friend Michael….very nice…. and on Sunday, Ana – nice girl from couch-surfing, Pedro y Veto (salsa-friends) and I went to another outdoor Tango event…..loads of people…!! Didn’t think it was that popular here…. Almost like the Tango events in NYC during the summer….
And I also learned the basic steps with some videos and practice at Veto’s house later….
THU Night (last week) it was Lisbet’s birthday party at Calle 8, another Latin / Salsa club…. Salsa, dancing, cake, many nice people…. Good night… :)
Friday night dancing at Timbalero con Cesar, Luis, Raul, Carlos, Veto. Juan….. and many, many other nice people… :)
SAT – (after the concert on the Malecon) Homenaje por Hector Lavoe aqui en el PIZZOTON en Miraflores…. Went there with Martin, Daniel and some of their musician friends…. Really good music, but not many dancers… :( Cesar was gonna come there too, but couldn’t make it in the end…. too bad… :(
But later Pedro, Veto and I went to a very nice Café here in Miraflores and it was still a good night…:)
SUN (after the Tango) - fuimos a bailar en MARKANO en San Martin de Porres…. Very basic little place, but good music and great fun dancing with Cesar y Chupete….:)
MON nights are really some of the best here I think…. After LOS BOTES (where Cesar teaches a bit On2) we normally go over to Veto’s house and hang out there, dance more, watch videos, talk…. Really nice…. I met a great group of people here – called the “SALSAMIGOS” – super-sweet, all of them…. And really makes Lima a lot of fun for me… :)
TUE – Valentine’s Day….went out with Sandro and come of his friends in LARCO MAR….
On WED - Christian, a couch-surfing friend from Guatemala, came to Lima and has been staying with me the last 2 nights….. WED we just had dinner with some of his computer programming friends and then went to SON DE CUBA…. Mainly cause it’s nice and close to my house…. And you can dance a little bit there too… ;)
Last night he was busy with some other computer event / conference and I went to AMERICAN LATIN CLUB with Francis, Veto and Manolo….. nice place and the FIRST WOODDEN DANCEFLOOR I discovered in LIMA so far…. J wwwooooowww…!!!! unfortunately no dancers there, but we can change that for next THU... ;)
Still had a really nice time there and saved some energy for TIMBALERO tonight…. ;)
Tomorrow night, Christian and I are gonna go to AREQUIPA - the white city in the South of Peru, direction to Lake TITICACA - and visit Claudia, another girl from couch-surfing there…. It’s a 14-hour bus ride to get there, but we’re taking a night-bus and I have MON off, so I only need to be back in Lima on TUE morning….. gonna miss all my dancing friends here in Lima a bit, but it’s also gonna be nice to see a bit more of Peru…..
So, that was a rough run-through of my last 2 weeks here…. Sorry, it’s a bit short and not very detailed, but at least it gives you a little idea of what I have been up to recently….
And I’ll write more when I’m back from AREQUIPA…!!
Big hug and lotsa love from LIMA…
