The Crotchety Old Man

In a bit of a rush, so lets do the damn thing.

Last weeks highlights were surfing at Punta Rokitas and going to an electric music festival in Lima called Creamfields. Note to self, do not pay over 20 dollars to watch some dude on stage press a play button and then clap his hands in encouragement to the crowd. Otherwise, got press messed up and danced until 6am.

This week, I have spent nearly every waking moment with a 71 year old named Dave Sabo. Dave graduated from MIT with a degree in chemical engineering and now he teaches part time at Northwestern, not a big deal. He tends to be extremely particular about every last detail and at times we butt heads when he asks too many questions. Every now and then I'll let him have it, but otherwise he has been a pretty good sport. We have been preforming various scientific experiments (or as the kids call it, science magic) at different Coprodeli schools in the area. The look on some of their faces has been priceless and they all lose their minds when we whip out the bubbles (BURBUJAS!!).

Right this second, I'm am in a rush to eat Thanksgiving (el dia de accion de gracia) dinner. Even though I'm in Peru doesn't mean I won't celebrate a holiday where you gorge yourself until your zipper busts...yeaaaa Emerica


Flying solo to Cusco and Machu Picchu this weekend, should be a trip.

Peace
