Yesterday was a big day, my friends.Four of us from the hostel met up with our beloved Cusqueñan friend (Deiter) around 11am. He had promised to give us a grand tour of the city. Remember now that Deiter was the same bloke that convinced us to trespass into the Incan Ruins a few days ago..
Anyways, he took us all around the city- showing us museums, monestaries and ruins while explaining their signifigance in Spanish.. It was like two lessons in one! He was quite the tour guide. One of the museums contained mumified Incan remains which were fully intact.. some of them still had hair.. spooky. All in all, it was a very educational day.
After our city tour, we all went to a Spanish school to attend a Peruvian Cooking Class that Derek and I had heard about from some girls at the market a few days ago.
This experience was the absolute highlight of my trip to Cuzco.. 
We helped prepare and cook (and chow down, of course) an authentic Peruvian Dinner for over 20 people (mostly local but some international) consisting of a dish known as Arróz Chaufa or Chinese-style fried rice. We made many new friends.. everyone there absolutely adored us (of course) and our infinite charm.. Laughter was in the air the entire evening.
Afterwards, we all went to a delightful discoteque known as ¨Mama Africa¨ and danced until the sunrise..
