It's Saturday. The day is actually quite warm and sunny. Too bad I feel like crap with my allergies going haywire (at least I hope to God it's allergies and not something else), and my head pounding from a night of pisco tasting with my friend and former colleague and her boyfriend at el Museo de Pisco.
It was quite interesting how, in DC me and my friends and colleagues would go to nice restaurants and bars but, since coming to Peru, I've adapted to the college style of cheap, but great, eats and cheap drinks. Seeing Simmy again and going to the Museo de Pisco (which I thought was an actual museum at first and was not dressed appropriately as it was a fancy restaurant/bar/live music and dancing place), brought back memories of DC and opened my eyes to a new side of Cusco. While the Museo de Pisco was exquisite, I have to admit that it just made me feel like I was back in DC at a nice restaurant.
At the restaurant we met an awesome Moldovan guy name Sergio who spoke Russian. Guess who got the hook up at a fancy and expensive restaurant in Cusco because of her Russian skills - THIS GIRL!!! :D After the Pisco tasting, Sergio used my remaining unfinished pisco drinks to make me a totally new drink from scratch. That ish was strong as heck, but really good. I hope I took a pic of it as it really got our "salsa" skills going.
Tomorrow, I'm off to Machu Picchu. I keep taking awesome videos, but my Mac is being a poo and not letting me upload them from my Samsung Galaxy S4. I have a few more methods of uploading them though before I give up. The first problem is getting the videos on my computer. The second is finding a quick internet speed to upload them in less than 5 hours. hahaha. I'll manage though.
Today, although I did learn and experience a lot, I think I'll skip my lessons learned and experiences gained.
If there's something you'd like to me write about, ask the people of Cusco, or try while I"m here in Peru, just let me know so I can cover it. :)
OH!!! So I lost my debit card! Yup, that happened. I don't really think I lost it though, if you know what I mean. My account balance is accurate, as of now, and I did email my credit union to let them know, so I hope everything will be alright. Oh well.
Until next time...
PICTURE TIME!
The drink with the circle of ice is the one Sergio made for me. :) It was citrusy and super delicious. Oh, did I mention that I had already tried 4 different Piscos and had a Pisco sour before he gave it to me? :D
Me and friends. :)
This was in the workbook of my boss's daughter. It says: "Tell me, Toreador, will my bull die?" No, little girl, your bull is not going to die." First thoughts: that guy is a liar!!!
