I slept in until 8:30, and when I got up, there wasn't a soul on the street. It was like one of those post-apocalypse movies where they kill all the people, but the buildings remain standing.
So I took a walk. And walked. And walked. I finally found someone who wanted to make some money, and they sold me Breakfast. I had Pork Sandwiches.
Delicious. Then I walked home (streets still empty) and had some Frozen Grapes.
I laid around the house and did nothing for a while, then Kelly wrote to ask how my holiday was. I remembered that I had promised to take her for Sushi, and things were starting to pick up, so she headed over to my place and we set about deciding where to go.
There are a lot of Sushi places in Lima. There's a strong Japanese influence here, so the Sushi is good.
It is also all closed on December 25th. We wound up calling about a dozen places -- every one closed. Finally, I bit the bullet and announced that they had a Sushi Bar in the Marriott Hotel here in town. I try to stay out of the shiny hotels because a) things cost double; and b) I don't like getting treated like a tourist. But hey, they were open.
We walk down to the Marriott. They seat us and hand me a menu (in English). I just hate it when they do that. Anyway, we order a Cebiche Mixto and an assortment of Maki Rolls. While we were waiting, I tried to get Kelly all up to speed on how to use chopsticks. She did better than horrible for a first-timer.
She liked the Sushi Rolls and didn't like the Cebiche, so I had most of the Cebiche and she had most of the Makis. It worked out good.
That was it for the day. It seems that after a while, I don't need to eat everything I can think of every day. Here's my steps.
