Things I Miss and Things I’ll Bring Back
SUMMARY: Two short lists of what I miss from America and what I will bring back to Peru.
My First KO in Peru
SUMMARY: I knock a Peruvian dude out. Then I make out with an overweight alcoholic.
I scored my first KO in Peru last night. I had long thought it was inevitable but didn’t think it would happen for such a stupid reason. I thought it would happen on the street in an incident stemming from me walking with a Peruvian girl. Instead, it happened in a bar with a guy I had been drinking with.
Mike’s last night is Friday night (tonight). We spontaneously decided to go out drinking Thursday night (last night). We went to a small dive on San Francisco. Eight tables are fit into a place no more than 1000 square feet, including the bar. The walls are decorated with art; the music is loud. I went to the bar while Mike grabbed a table. By the time I had a pitcher of pisco and Sprite, Mike made two friends who joined him at our table. … Read more
Mi Chibola Y La Comida
SUMMARY: I discuss my developing relationship with Milagros and developing need for an exit strategy.
Chibola is Peruvian slang for a young girl. Emphasis being young. Comida is food.
I thought about Milagros all week. I had her over Friday night. She told her parents she would sleep at a friend’s and stayed with me.
I didn’t see her Saturday or Sunday. Monday was a holiday and Milagros came over around noon. There was a block party outside. They were serving rocoto relleno and fried chicken plates with plenty of beer. Rocoto relleno (stuffed pepper) is the Arequipa signature dish: a spicy pepper stuffed with meat and cheese served with pastel de papa (potato cake). Milagros and I went with Nicolas, Damien, and Roy to eat lunch. We shared a rocoto relleno plate. We finished before the others and ran back to the apartment. After showering together, we went into my room and spent 2 – 3 hours in bed. Without going into specifics, we got a little nastier than we had previously. She gave me a long massage afterwards. … Read more
Peruanas’ Gringo Desire Reaffirmed
SUMMARY: I meet a twenty year-old in a bar and take her home for sex.
Mike, Nicolas and I went downtown Friday night to Montreal – a bar with live music. We sat at an empty table next to a large party. The party had three tables pulled together to make room for the 15 – 20 people, 75% of whom were female. With typical Latina subtlety, the girls looked us up and down, including the girls who weren’t facing us that turned around to see. After we sat down they giggled and looked at us with the same subtlety.
Soon after our drinks arrived, the girls’ table sent an ambassador to make contact. One of the guys came over and explained that it was some girl’s birthday and she wants a hug. We gave her hugs and the other girls hooted and hollered. We sat back down. More guests arrived to their table and they asked if they could use our table. We merged tables (or were we acquired?) and crowded in. That was how we joined the party. … Read more
