So after discovering I can live without hairdryers/cadburys/heat magazine and having developed a killer tan that doesn't seem to fade (whilst failing to find the meaning of life but deciding its unimportant and far more fun to comare rums of different countries) I have decided to spend some time wandering round south america. Will I ever come back to work....will I get fluent in Spanish....will i get new blogger friends....find out here!

Police escorts

Last night we all went out salsaing and were meant to be meeting at a certain club. However, Amanda managed to get completely the wrong address so after wandering around La Mariscal for a bit, we finally gave up and went over to this massive group of policeman to ask for directions. Unfortunately they didnt know, but then 3 insisted on accompanying us while they asked for more directions and walked us all the way there (about 10 blocks away!) Think we had one of the important policemen as well as when we went past some other policemen, they saluted! Was rather amusing to have an armed ascort to the bar and even more amusing to watch the reaction from people in the bar watching us thank all the police and walk in!

Turned out to be a really lovely evening as well with lots of great live music and dancing...although all my newly found skills care of the dance lesson seemed to go out the window (although for that I do blame the men!)

And off to Banos this weekend for a little trip. Its meant to be gorgeous so am looking forward to it......might even involve a long bike ride although am assured its all down hill (and you can get a bus back up so its all good!) And even more good news, I moved out of my house today so as of now, I am an independent woman again, free to eat when I want and not tricked into eating samosas for breakfast or horrid bits of animals
