Today I worked on the borders of the micro rellenos in Occoruro. The first micro relleno we were working on had a little bit of an issue because there was water soaking into the pit. This would make it unusable, so we filled the hole up with a bit of dirt. We will check on it again tomorrow to see if there is any hope in salvaging it or if we should just start a new one. We then moved to one of the other micro rellenos, and nearly completed the border. On Tuesday, we will finish laying the adobe bricks on top, since we have finished the rock and mud layer underneath.
After work today, I came home for lunch and then went back to El Molino, the black market. I still can’t believe the prices that are there, as I got four North Face jackets for the family for a total of under $80.
Tonight was also pretty cool. Since the Peruvian elections are this weekend, all of the clubs and bars are closed until Monday morning. All of us met up for dinner and were originally planning to go to Pampa del Castillo, the supposed best chicharroneria in town. However, I found out just before dinner that chicharronierias close around 4:00pm. Thus, we had to find an alternative option for dinner. We instead went to Kintaro, a Japanese restaurant in town. The food was pretty good, but I had been looking forward to the chicharroneria. Since we couldn’t go out to a club, from dinner we all went directly to the ProWorld office and played cards and other board games such as Taboo for the rest of the night.
