"May God punish you for not buying a finger puppet."

This post is dedicated to the kid who smited me in the Plaza de Armas today.

We tried to go to Vivian's today, but no one was home! A bummer too, since it isn't close. Here in Cuzco, if someone doesn't show for a coffee date, you go to their house, and then their parents' house. If they don't look home, you just yell their name for a while. Here is a picture of Marianela yelling for Vivi's fam.

"Viviiii? Senora?"

Vivian's dog protected us while we waited. But, also didn't like it when we knocked on the door. He's a tricky one to figure out. But a great watch dog in a not so great part of town!

After Vivian's house, we should a few quick videos of me talking about Cuzco in front of the Ministry of Ed. I laughed throughout most of it!

Anecdote: A man in the Convento asked me what I was doing alone in Cuzco. I told him, and he said, "but I don't think we have autism here."

Here are some other things I did and saw today:

A very pretty balcony.

Lunch @ Real McCoy: Roast chicken, with gravy and stuffing on a baguette.

Finally asked someone else to take a picture of me. (@ Plaza de Armas)

... but still perfecting my self portrait skills. (@ Ministry of Ed)

One of my all time favorite places. (@ Museum, Convento de la Merced)

I've got one hand in my pocket.

Watched dusk fall on the balcony of Norton's.

Tomorrow:

• Home visits to Shakira and Vivian
• Vids @ San Martin and around town
