i´m hot in other countries
what´s up dudes. the deal is as such: i left my house at 4pm on friday, flew out of boston at 7, flew out of miami at 11, and arrived lima 5am saturday. i had a layover until 2 in the afternoon today, but whatever. i watched the office all day. i was supposed to go from lima to cuzco and stay on the plane until puno...BUT I GOT OFF IN CUZCO. so at 3 in the afternoon, i was alone and blonde, six hours by bus from where i needed to be. i hopped in a rañdom taxi cab, despite frommer´s warnings against doing so, and ´juan carlos´as he called himself took me to buy a bus ticket. and then he kept saying, man, it´s fiesta day, everything´s çhill right now, let´s go grab a beer. i said no, but he kept bugging me, and i had 6 hours to kill, so i said sure. you´re only veinte for a year, right¿ so we got some cuzsquenas and he was like, do you like (something i didn´t understand), and i was bored of him so i said si. turns out he asked if i like panoramas, and he, drinking his cerveza all the while, drove me up a mountain and i didn´t know what to do except call someone to let them know the timing on my bus ticket. i was pretty sure i was about to b raped and pushed off the mountain, but we chatted about panoramas and me being beautiful. it only got super uncomfortable when i asked questions about thieves, and he said don´t worry about it chica. and then we were silent for a while, and then he advised, ´worry that i want to steal your heart, eyes, and lips. ´in spanish of course. ´then i said i had to pee, and he said pee like the incas do, with libertad, with libertad---outside---with people watching. and i was like, no taxi driver. i will not pee with libertad. and then i said come on, i have to go ahora, and he asked if i was scared of the dark. good one. yes, yes i was, i said, and he still didn´t want to leave the dark, uninhabited mountain side. then i`pretty much said i was going to pee in his taxi, so he drove me to a closed, dark gas station to pee. then, for real, i thought i was going to die. but i peed in a restaurant and made him take me to the terminal. i sat down and read some t.h., and some girls started arguing about whether i looked american or not (interjectioñ: i am filthy right now), and then the driver waltzed in to the terminal with my camera case and it was weird. anyway, i have an hour in this internet cubby, so i apologize for the long and boring post. here´s to me not being killed when i arrive at the terminal at 4am tomorrow morning and have to take a taxi to my hostel. i think taking a taxi will be safer than sitting in a terminal at dawn, yeah¿ i hate this keyboard, but TE QUIERO, hasta la vista, lindsey
linds you could have died like ACTUALLY DIED and that message you left on my phone could have been REAL (something like "and if i die i guess i didn't get to talk to you before i left") and that would have been pretty awful. i'm glad you're alive. good update. good taxi driver.
