So last night my roommates and I went to el Parque de la Reserva which is a park that holds the Guinness World Record for the most fountains in one area. Every size, every shape of fountain you could imagine and they were all illuminated in beautiful lights with music playing every few feet. Very romantic, lots of public display of affection.
Afterwards, we went to a small cafe for another exchange student's birthday and had a great time. Nothing like sipping on some cheap red wine in a laid-back gringo cafe.
Today, Katie and I decided to venture to Chilca to bath in the mudbaths (barro) with so-called healing powers. We had a great date...I mean time just wandering through the cities trying to find these baths. One moto-taxi ride later, we found them and it only costs 1 sole to enter. Love Peru! In the middle of a tiny town is a sulfur/salt lake that is the most brilliant green color (Winnebago has nothing on this lake) and it was surrounded by whirlpool-sized pits of mud. After lathering up, we dried in the hot sun before dipping in the lake to clean ourselves. We smelled awful after we returned to Lima and our skin was covered in salt but one hot shower later and our skin is quite smooth.
NOW, LISTEN UP ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT CAMERAS. I took pictures of all the aforementioned events and they were pretty spectacular. Sometime during our mud-monster adventure my camera either deleted all my pictures on accident or had some fatal error. If anybody can tell me how to get these pictures back, if there is any hope PLEASE let me know as soon as possible. I realize this is not the end of the world and we all have the memories in our minds to keep forever but I would still love to have those pictures back. If push comes to shove we'll have to have another spa day...not a big deal.
