Thank god for free days! I woke up today at about 9:00am to eat some breakfast with my wonderful roommates. We went back to our rooms to grab our computers to do some homework and blogging. I had every intention of spending my day relaxing by the pool and reading, but when I got back up to my room, I sat briefly on my bed to look for Dayquill. The next thing I knew I had been asleep for five hours. I was not feeling good at all! I woke up around 2:30 and felt much better. I was so hungry when I woke up (another sign I was feeling better!) and got some incredible Chinese food! Who knew Peruvians had amazing comida Chino!?!
Our only activity for the day was to meet in Ica’s Plaza de Armas to conduct interviews with three people. It was a bit uncomfortable at first but everyone we interviewed was very nice. I had trouble staying on track with the list of questions because I really enjoyed just talking to the people. I found it was easier to have a regular conversation, as the people we interviewed didn’t know the answers to some of our more specific questions. They responded really well when we asked them what their favorite tourist spots, festivals and foods were. We approached and older man for an interview and then his daughter joined us and we were able to chat with them both. She was a nurse and had two kids that were 15 and 20. He was retired and was visiting his daughter in Ica. We spoke with a younger woman who was 28 and a waitress. Everyone was really nice and very willing to share their experiences with us gringos!
That night a few people went out to the discotecas but since I wasn't feeling good, I stayed in and hung out with Andrew and Rosana and did some homework.
