So halloween was fun. Recreated the Cool Runnings costume from college... worked like a charm. Mostly, I'm cheap and didn't want to buy a costume so just got some colored tape and called it a night! Got a ton of compliments and a ton of weird looks along with the line "so what are you TRYING to be?" Trying? seriously? I looked bomb, let's be real. And why have you never seen cool runnings... losers. We started off in the plaza and it was loco. So many people, so many kids, it was awesome. Again with the photos... we were asked on multiple occasions if we would take pictures with them, obviously we agreed and met some really fun people. We made our way through the bars, had a huge group of people so it was a bit tricky to keep everyone together... we failed miserably, obviously. Met three new friends at the new clinic and I was actually able to meet up with them which was nice, they are super fun. Had a bit of a mishap with a volunteer needing to go to the hospital but other than that, the night was a total blast. The bars don't close until approximately 6 in the morning here... why? don't ask me, it's nuts. But what did we do? Stayed out and about until the sun came up. Walking home in the light was weird and exhausting. Let's just say, we were trying to fit in? ;) We ended the night at McDonalds... yes they have Micky-D's here and yes I spent 20 soles on food. Again, don't judge me. Side note... their Mcflurry's here are like 20x better than ours.
As per usual the morning after I drink, I woke up a couple hours later at like 8:30, we had a leisurely morning reminiscing about the night, had a bomb brunch at a popular spot called Jax's. For the rest of the day, Kiva (otra voluntaria) and I made our way around to all of the Cusco museums with our tourist ticket. Had another beautiful day to make our way around the city, however, a total exhausting day after such a long night. The museums were very pretty and the buildings equally as pretty. I'm starting to be a bit more conversational with my Spanish so after getting home from the long day, had a nice chat with the fam. Hitting up a popular pizza place tonight with some girls, keeping it a bit more tame than last night.
