I took a picture with a Baby Llama and Danced Salsa



Yesterday after class instead of going to my homestay for my lunch and siesta me and another student decided to go to lunch and walk around. We went to lunch at "Los Perros" (The Dogs) which is a Swiss/Peruvian fusion resturante recommended by one of the teachers. They had some banging hot chocolate but were a little expensive (like 15-25 sols which is only $5-10 but I could get lunch for $3). However, that did not stop me from ordering 2 hot chocolates (7 sols ... $1 = 2.82 sols).
 
 
We walked around Cusco and visited the markets. I saw many presents for people. The only problem is evertything I would get for others I also want for myself :/ thou I refuse to buy anything yet. Well, other then socks becuase it is so cold at night. I have not been warm since I´ve been here - es horrible.
 
 
Anyhoo, while we were walking there was a lady with a baby llama and me and Juanita (the name of the baby llama) took pictures.  We walked around and took pictures of everything thinking that every building was just sooo beautiful. I know people who are from Cusco were looking at us like "look at these assholes." I know becuase living in NYC that is how I felt about all the tourists I saw taking pictures of the randomness like it was life changing. However, that did not deter me from taking pictures of the randomness, including grass growing from out the roof of a building.
 
 
The school offers salsa classes every Thursday which along with spanish I need to know already. I know I am Puerto Rican at heart becuase even though I did not think the salsa teacher was sexy, as soon as he started dancing his points went up and I was like mmmm. As many of you know, I am not a good coordinated dancer so I struggled as soon as we did more then the basic step, which is fine becuase my behind will be there next week. The salsa teacher invited us to the discoteca where he teaches to dance and have a free drink on him. I´m about to participant in the Cusco night life :)
