Let me highlight the last 6 days for you!
We landed in Lima, lost a debit card somewhere (haha, I bet you think it was me, debbie!), and then stayed in a gross hotel. Our taxi driver told us that the world cup would start at 6am, but no one woke up that early. Around noon, we managed to get to the bus stop which would take us south. When we plugged in the computer, it sent a shock through Brooke. We decided to (1) call Apple to ask about this electric phenomena and then (2) order our travel insurance to make sure we were covered if the hard drive, camera, or adam got snatched. That took somewhere on the order of 4 hours and then we hopped on a bus for 5 hours. The next afternoon, Brooke managed to make a power strip smoke, blow the electricity for the entire third floor of a hotel, and block Final Cut Pro from being usable. Adam found somewhere to stay for 1.80 per person per night. This very seems expensive to us, and moving there takes all day. Here are some pictures of what we can see outside our window, and Adam taking footage off of our roof. In the upper right hand corner, there is a very very large sand dune. cause we´re in the middle of a desert. Fancy that!
Did I mention that it is the 447t anniversary of the town that we are staying in? There was a march-off: WHICH SCHOOL CAN MARCH THE BEST?!? Every single school in Ica had their kids in uniforms. I think I mentioned this. But Peruvians march funny so its worth mentioning again. This also means that everyone will be drunk on Wednesday.
On Sunday, we decided that we needed bikes to get around because walking is too slow and mototaxis are too expensive. Miraculously, this takes 4.5 hours (despite knowing where to find used bikes), and when we leave, an entire pedal falls off. We also realize that we don´t have locks, and Adam returns to rectify both of these things. Brooke continues onwards, buys tupperware, forks, and snacks. We reconvene for 2.5 hours of Internet.
Monday and Tuesday, we are finally able to work on the documentary for the entirety of two days. We are both tired of staring at the computer screen for so long, but Professor Bald! We´re doing it!

[There used to be this awesome picture of us working on the computer with the storyboard in sticky notes here, but i cant get it to download. BOO!]
