"Priekaa" in a bar in Trujillo

Still in Trujillo, and the first party we had. Dancing salsa until 4 am... With latvian-danish-german-english speaking peruvians!

After a day of culture and pyramids, we were of course up to try the other culture of this city - local drinks and dancing. Together with Angela, our Swiss companion, 3 of us headed to a nice rock bar, and after enchange of the usual "where are you from" with a group of birthday celebrators, we got a response to our "we are from Latvia" with "cheers" but IN LATVIAN. Imagine, our curiosity was growing, as the phrases like " es tevi milu" ( I love you), "es milu jusu meitu" (I love your daughter), "sipols" (onion), and the regular ones "loti labi" (very good) and "paldies" (thank you) were coming from that table. By the nature of the phrases we of course could guess where it came from... It turned out to be more complicated... A guy from peru meets a latvian girl in Denmark and thus speaks not only the phrases in Latvian, but a perfect Danish. Talk about globalisation.

The surprises did not end there, others knew everything about musci festivals in Switzerland... And, by the end we were told that this is the MetalInca band. Have not heard them playing anything, but would be interesting to see what they are up to.

So, we joined this company of +/- 30 year olds and spent the rest of the night dancing salsa (learning that is). Today... had to check out at 12 so its a bit hard no to have enough sleep after all the testing of rum made in Trujillo, beer made in Trujillo and other things we have no idea where and what from they were made of, course picu sour (am not sure if that is the right spelling though).

Tonight we are off to Lima though. Weekend there, in Miraflores should also be nice, so updates will follow. The group of Karlis and myself will be growing to 3, as Roberts, friend of Karlis with whom he has been travelling last 3 months, should also join us. But now, we are heading off to try the chiviche, local raw fish dish that we have to eat here, before leaving to Lima. About taste of that - later.
