So, after the dance competition, we went to this "BBQ" in the middle of no where with a friend of ours, Gabo. There was no barbecue sauce to be had at this little shindig, however. We ate an entire chicken that was cooked on this dirt field with some neighbors in this small village outside of the city.
Above is a picture of Alex, Gabo and his new dog, "Mayu" (Quechua for "river"). She is a little angel and she comes every where with us.
At this BBQ event, I made friends with a 50 year old woman from Lima who just moved to Cusco and wants to practice her English with me. She was so happy to be my friend and I was happy to have someone be so excited about me!
Then we went to Gabo's "Cusqueñan family's" house in a nearby town to celebrate a 75 year old man's birthday. His name is "Papa León" and he is incredible dancer and an even more incredible drinker. We sat in the living room and they said "SALUD" ever minute or so and we had to drink. Very intense drinkers. They all then proceeded to dance around the living room to some seriously Peruvian music. Someone caught the last few moments of my dance with Papa León on video. Unfortunately, it is not uploading right now but I will keep trying.
