Thu, August 2nd: Pisco (Gone) Sour!

Salsa anyone??? As promised, Ivan took us out for a night out on the town in Santiago. Many glasses of wine,beer and pisco sours later, we left the hostel and headed for the bar. Unfortunately the subway system had broken down so everyone and their dog were trying to hail cabs. Since we couldn't get enough for the entire group at once, we walked along and just hopped in cabs as they sped past! Quite the adventure! We all gradually arrived at the club where we took salsa lessons. And by learning salsa, I really mean being spun around the room and stumbling over our own feet, In fairness, they really did try to teach us but frankly, we don't move the way that they do. Still, it was a memorable night full of laughs, not-so fancy footwork, and an overindulgence of cervezas and pisco sours which for some, made for tough morning! We capped the night off with a little "Telepizza" which for the record, I strongly discourage unless of course you like dough that pretty much resembles sawdust! off to the Andes for the weekend! :)
