One of our housemates volunteers at the zoo as well as takes Spanish lessons. We're actually some of the few people who aren't volunteering on some local project while we learn Spanish! But they only have between 1 and 2 hours of Spanish lessons per day while we get four.
Anyway, the zoo isn't open on Saturdays but our housemate got us in. The zoo is small, about the size of a football field, and is attached to the university. We took lots of pictures but we're having trouble uploading them and using the wifi for our laptop. If we keep having trouble, we'll just post them when we get home in two weeks (for the two or three of you who actually want to see the pictures).
About 50% of the animals at the zoo were monkeys of some sort. This isn't like the San Diego Zoo where there is a huge moat and then an enclosement. No, we were right next to the cages and the monkeys would reach their hands out and we could touch them. I actually saw one catch a bee, pull off the stinger and eat it.
After the zoo we went to a cevecheria (a restaurant that specializes in ceviche). Ceviche is a seafood dish in which everthing is marinated in lime juice, not cooked. Peru is known for it. Erin got the Seabass (our Amor compadres will see the humor in that) and I got the Seabass mixed with shellfish. It was pretty good though I think that was enough for one trip.
Ok, we're off to our salsa lessons! Should be funny considering neither of us have any rhythym.

Will you please videotape your salsa lessons? That would be the best Christmas present ever!
Does this mean you'll be our new salsa couple? We need friends to go with us - now that the Smith's have moved. You have to have someone to share in the laughs with!
