Been keeping a pretty low profile in general. Didn't check out the nightlife in la paz cause was too exhausted, and not really any nightlife in the salt flats! So, it was time to get out there and have a few drinks. After dinner went to a gringo hangout for my single friends. Since i really wanted to see what peruvians do on their nights out, i know what americans, english, aussies, etc. do on their nights out, got a recommendation for a peruvian dance club and dragged the girls there.
We hopped in a mini-cab, with 6 of us, max capacity definately 5, so a little tight. Place was a bit out of the way, and of course when we arrived we were the only non-peruvians, and a bunch of girls at that! So, of course everyone was staring at us. And of course, i am the first one to get pulled up on the dance floor by a young peruvian man. This was painfully embarrassing, first of all we couldn't communicate, second i was trying to dance to peruvian music, when my dancing forte is really 80s and hip hop, and third I felt everyone was still staring! So, when the song was over I politely declined more dancing. I needed cusquena, the local beer! What I could gather from his spanish was that i stole his heart...ugh.....I definately don't need anymore men in my life. After that i managed to avoid all possibly dancing, and made sure the other girls were up dancing and not me!
After our fun at the peruvain club, had an even funner ride back to main square (i.e. location of gringo bars), since one of my friends peruvian suitors decided to hop in with us....now 7 in a minitaxi - by minitaxi i mean only slightly larger than a smart car. Had polished off a couple of bottles of beer, so we had an even better time on this ride. We could never get away with this in a taxi in philly!
