Discoteca!!!

Thursday was a fantastic day, as it was public holiday so we went to the local 'fair' to watch an exhibition of horses. Sounds weird, but the horses are different here in the way they walk, so we watched them trot around the yard, watched ladies dance with the horses and even Rudy's horse trainer train a horse right there! The little kids were the cutest. There was one lady on her horse, with the horses foal and a little boy!! There were markets and stalls, and lots of beer...of course!! It was so hot though, you don't expect that being high in the Andes it will get hot, but when the sun comes out it burns, so we sat in the sun for about 3 hours! Was boiling by the time we got home!

On thursday night we all decided to go to Killa (key-ya) the local disco. Heather was supposed to be leaving to go back to lima but her bus was cancelled due to bad weather, so we decided to make her last night a big one! And we had a public holiday on friday, so we knew we didn't have to do our volunteer placement, so we could go out and enjoy ourselves without worrying. Also being Semana Santa, Rudy the program director told us we didn't have to follow house curfew of 11pm on weeknights. So we were all set! We had the best time, even though most of the songs were in spanish, it turned out to be a great night. Some of the girls left early but Alexandria and I partied on till we stumbled in the front door of our house at 3am! Much to the amusement of our night guard, Walter, who thought we were hilarious!
