Last night ended pretty much similar to the day, me not really doing much. I went to the supermarket and bought myself some of the freshest and most perfectly ripe avocados that I've ever had, I made myself some simple avocado, cheese and tomato sandwiches, I felt like being cheap and lazy. Marlon turned up a bit before I started eating, the girls arrived just as I had finished eating. They spent the day in a nearby town called Lican Ray, in the hills with beautiful beaches, so I have been told. We were all going to go to this cheap bar recommended by the owner of the hostel but a slight change of plan and everybody feeling a little tired and drained we all ended up congregating in the kitchen all night. A couple of Canadians from Quebec were in the kitchen with us and we all just got into conversation, me on my £1 litre, the girls on wine and the Canadians on Piscola (Pisco is the Chilean national drink, its a sort of brandy based spirit, quite nice and sweet not too harsh on the throat and very smooth) which is Pisco with cola as you might have guessed. The beer soon ran out and I moved onto to my bottle of Pisco purchased for the tidy sum of $1500 pesos which is roughly £2 for a 70cl bottle, result. My Pisco was the cheapest I could find but it still tasted good enough, it certainly did the job. I was chatting to the Canadians for most of the night about Canada mainly, a bit about travelling in general and some on other random things. They pretty much persuaded me to check out Quebec, I am very keen on the idea now, there is a big festival starting around the 6th July and it goes on for a week or so. Sounds good, lots of live bands and world music and its cheap, very cheap apparently about $40 Canadian. Don't quite know if I'll actually be able to make it as I am meeting people in the States a bit before and I don't know how long it will take me to get up to Quebec, if I can I'll definitely do it though.
