Back To Lima I Go!

June 12th - 13th 2008

I currently sit in the aeropuerto in La Paz awaiting my delayed flight. I was instructed not to take the taxis in front of my hostel because they are dangerous (robberies), so I had to wait for a registered taxi my hostel ordered. Driving out of La Paz and looking down at the city lights from the highway that winds up the mountain slopes is quite something spectacular. Other thoughts; Bolivia is a very poor country and the merchandise in the city is a bargain. I recommend to anybody that wants to 'shop till they drop', head to La Paz.

The evening in Lima featured a late night on the town with Patty Peru, and the new addition Mike aka MC Jimmy Pattison at a local club (Aurea?) in the LarcoMall, Miraflores. Vodka and Red Bull were the drink of the night. A great night was had by all as we somehow worked our way through 4 x 26 ounce bottles. I remember talking Spanish to a bunch of locals and trying to dance for a bit.

We ended the night by trying to get into a Casino when it had long since closed. I also remember getting followed home by two locals trying to befriend us. Likely, the suits they were dressed in were for another reason than we suspected and it was a good instinct by the group to drunkenly depart (with hostility I may add)............
