Just woke up, 9:00.  Last night we (Paul from UK and Sylvan, a med student from France) hit the town.  A section called "Pizza Street" because every bar and restaurant serves pizza.  We bought two pitchers of the best Peruvian beer, Cusquena, beer for a total of 50 soles including tip... about 20 American dollars.  The bar was in the style of an English pub.  On pizza street we were offered cocaine, marijuana, hash, speed, and prostitutes.  


The coastline here is much different than in the States.  Large rocky cliffs slope into the water, and the city is built above the water, on the cliffs.  It seems to be a flat city, and these slopes seem to be the walls of a large mesa.


Drinking instant coffee, ate a buttered, jellied roll.  Just met a guy from Germany.  English prevails here and everywhere so far.  Almost everyone knows some.
