So, I have discovered a small problem with not being able to load pictures on this teeny tiny playbook (which is wonderful by the way). Keyboards here are not configured like they are at home and, after messing about with ingerfloggen (don't ask me), on the BIG computer at my hostel, I gave up. I took about a million pictures of seabirds today and you won't get to see them until I get home - Uh, maybe that's a good thing.
However, you will get to see a picture of my new friends, Natasha (lovely person and world traveler) and Andy, her faithful sidekick and Kung-Fu teacher and owner of Jing Ying Kung-Fu Academy in Alberta, which is incidentally where they are from. They were nice people on their way South and I wish them happy travels. See their picture above. The other picture is from Cafe Haiti (recommended in Lonely Planet). The book says their food is good (true) and their Pisco Sours pack a wallop (also true). This innocent looking little dish, however, also packs a HUGE wallop! It was a spicy, peppery salsa -yummy!
I cannot say enough positive things about the places I have visited (Islas Ballestas especially) and the warm and kind people I have met. On the way to my room in Pisco yesterday, I was in a taxi with two men, neither of whom spoke much English and feeling just a little intimidated. By the time we arrived at my hotel, we were shaking hands and had become friends - and I learned a few more Spanish words as a bonus!
