"Somehow you'll escape
all the waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where the Boom Bands are playing."

September 21: Next time someone asks you to Shac Shas, just say no


    Wednesday my host family to me to …..surprise…..another town fiesta. This one was in Ranrihirca, a town about 8 minutes down the road from us. We went to listen to the bands play and there was some talk of going to the bull fight but none of us really wanted to pay 30 soles to get in. We watched the Shac Shas dancers for a little while though. This is a traditional type of dance that turns up in most town fiestas. I was having a great time watching until they came around to pull girls into one of the dances. It’s this silly song they sing about the different types of girls. It was pretty cute for a little while until 45 minutes later I was still step-touching in front a guy in a silk tunic and a head dress because this song has about a million verses. Never again :-P
