eroticismo

Yesterday we went on a tour of the centro històrico de Lima, and we saw the cathedral, plaza de armas, Palacio del Gobierno, and the church of San Francisco with its catacombs FULL OF HUMAN BONES arranged all crazy in order to save space for more of the dead! (I am going to post my own photos to flickr and blog them here asap.)

In Lima yesterday we also visited the Museo Larco with its enormous collection of Mochica ceramics and other pre-Incan objects. The museum features a Sala Eròtica, which was pretty amazing. Animals humping, humans humping in almost every way you could think of, including with dead people. Ahh... those horny pre-Incans!

Spent the afternoon at Larco Mar, a cool beachside eating and shopping center. We had 5 types of cebiche. Nam nam! Miraflores rocks; Everybody was out on the streets, even though it´s cold. A group of about 40 people were sitting around an amphitheater, waiting for a possible performance... Apparently every Friday, Saturday and Sunday there`s normally some kind of impromptu performance art that occurs in the central park.

This morning we were up way early for a flight to Cusco. When we arrived at the hotel we rested and drank coca tea which seems to be helping with the altitude.

Additionally - this group is amazing. Most of the people have done the program in previous summers and were embracing each other this morning with excitement. Already a bunch of people have remembered my name and welcomed me. They invited me out for ONE DRINK last night but I was ... too... tire ... d ....... Today I feel better, and we are off now for a city tour.
