agua, carros, y tonos

Con Ale, the wonderful VPICX GDCP! 

Friday evening, the AIESECers (@ers) took us to a parque de agua in Lima. This park had a many different fountains shaped in cool designs lit up with lights (that may have been redundant). It was so beautiful. At the end, they had one huge fountain that had projections of samples of different traditional dances from Perú. You could see the ladies and gentlemen in their beautiful outfits twirling away in the jets of water.

At the race track

I spent the next day at a race track with Gaby and a bunch of kids from the Best Buddies program at Pacifico. We drove an indeterminate number of hours (probably two or three, but I spent a lot of it dozing) and ended up at some track in the middle of who knows where. I was confused for a long time because I thought we were going to watch a race, because, you know, we were at a race track and stuff. I found out about six hours later that we were just hanging around the track while they set up and practiced for the race that was the next day. Which explained why they were literally constructing part of the building we were in. While we were in it. It was a very relaxed atmosphere because the people in our group made up the only people that weren't constructoin workers, drivers, the teams of the drivers, or officials. We were able to go down and walk on the part of the track where the cars pull off to refuel. While we were down by the garages we looked at the cars and meet the drivers. One of the drivers we took a picture with is apparently very famous in Perú. I think he did some sort of advertising/modeling or something in addition to being a good driver. Racer. Conductor of the automobile. Not sure what they're called.

Welcome Party. There are lots of guys. 

That night brought the last trainee and the welcome party/birthday party for one of the AIESECers. Most of the trainees had their first ever salsa experiences, and of course, we learned a few roll calls. Btw, Latin American roll calls are so much faster and fancier than American ones.
