Last weekend in Lima...

So, I know I’ve should have written this post here at least a few days ago and always been meaning to, but then time and my job and life here in Lima caught me and I just never got round to do it….

But what I actually wanted to say was that I had a really, really nice weekend here a few days ago…. A friend came over on SAT morning and cleaned almost my whole apartment for me….. very nice and sweet….. then another afternoon on the beach here and at night, after a few hours in SON DE CUBA (the small local Cuban club, very close to my house) I went to another, much bigger club called KIMBARA with Ricardo and yaaaii, yaaiii, yaaaiii…. met some people there who dance Salsa a bit more the way that I’m used to dance and that I enjoy…. Who know what a cross-body lead and a triple spin (at least..!!;) is….. and I had a really, really nice time dancing there….. so – planning to go again this weekend…. J J

Then on Sunday, Martin – the Lima correspondent of www.salsapower.com who I had been emailing with a bit during the last few weeks had invited me to a party in SABOR PERUANO, a nice Peruvian restaurant also very close to my house…. In the famous “Calle de Pizzas”… ;)

Met him and some of his friends there, all very nice and friendly, good music, interesting videos, great Peruvian BBQ and also a bit of dancing….. really nice afternoon….
Then later that night we went to another party with live music in SURQUILLO, a barrio right next to MIRAFLORES…. Was very fun too and met a few more dancers there…. J

Sooooo – Lima, is not tthhhaaaatttt bad after all, and I think I can have a nice enough time here for the next 2 and 1/2 months and get to dance at least once or twice a week properly….J big smile….

Other than that I had a free pass for a gym very close to my office this week and been going there a few times, and one more last time tonight…..
and yesterday I met Aden here, CS-friend from Australia who also visited me in Germany last June, and went out with him, cause it was his last night in Lima before he’s off on a 3-week “Amazon-banana-boat-cruise” and totally worried about getting bored there…. Don’t worry senor, gonna be all good…. And you have Recife to look forward to…. J

Yeah, so that was my exciting week so far….and the next weekend is almost here…. I’m settling in here fine and as above, starting to like Lima, better and better…..
