Day at Naplo
20.04.2006
Today is Thursday. This is my sixth day in
Lima and now everything looks much more familiar. I go almost
everyday to Miraflores, not that there are so many interesting
things to see there, but just because it brings me so many
memories.
Today, according to the plans of the special
comitee called Cupula, we will spend the day in Naplo
(50 km south of Lima), in the Monica's
summer house.
We met in Miraflores,
near Larcomar, around noon. Before that, I bought new sunglasses
in Saga, and passed the whole avenida Larco to get in front of
Larcomar shopping mall. The bus was waiting.
The drive to Naplo was
unforgettable by itself. First, we passed through the Chorillos
and then, driving through the desert we headed for Naplo. We were singing
all songs we knew and the big hit was of course the class song.
Naplo was out-of season
empty, but in Monica's house everything was ready: DJ selecting
and playing great music, self-serving tanks of beer, summer chairs and two
motor boats.
We started drinking
beers and cocktails, enjoying a wonderful sunny day. After some
time, we got on one of the motor boats and took a ride along the
coast. We visited Pucusana and had a great sightseeing of it and
Naplo.
Then we got hungry. The
food was already waiting and we were served causa and papa a la
Huaycaina. At the end, my favourite cake milojas con manjar
blanco.
Just before the sunset,
we started dancing, carving into the memories each
moment that we are spending together.

After
Naplo: The same day, in the evening, in the FDR college, it
was organized a cocktail, so we decided to go there directly from the
beach. We were already running late, so in one moment, we
all got out of the bus in Chorillos trying to catch a taxi to
hurry to school, but when we looked around we noticed that we
were just in front of some prision. We changed our mind and
returned quickly to the bus. Choco and Walter didn't react so fast
and stayed out.
We arrived to
the school. Everybody in and out was in suites and night dresses. I
entered the school's gate, after 25 years!
After the cocktail in the college Franklin Delano Roosevelt we
went to the caffe/disco Mar in San Isidro, near the Alcazar
cinema. After dancing, we gathered in the sandwicheria to eat
anticuchos, sandwich "butifarra" and drink chicha morada.
