Sneakin Pogo through the ally

Here´s a story that has been going on for this summer and for most part of last summer . In our urbanisation it`s not allowed to have dogs , so what do we do with Pogo ? One option we use a lot last year was to leave him in Lima with a "dogsitter" but it was really a waste as they guy did nothing but taking Pogo out a few times a day , and then watch Tv . This year we smuggle him in and out a few times a day . he goes in the back of the car under the cover and stays very still , for sure he knows that if he`s a good boy he gets to go for a walk . This happens every morning and at least one time in the afternoon . The rest of the time he stays in the ground floor with the 2 maids (when they are not up working) . he seems quite happy with this arrangement. The good thing is he don`t bark and so far nobody has found out . We can not tell anybody as to risk beeing "given away" Sometimes we take him up to our floor . This weekend we have a party so he has to go to a kennel . He is really a good boy an behaves very good.

Dancing days are here again

oooops I don`t know quite how to edit my posts yet so this has to be a new one . The Dancing Peru style they play ONLY Salsa or what they call Pachanga It`s quite obvious that most of the women and quite a few of the men have spent time training dancing , most of them are quite good at it , like everywhere else some songs are a lot more popular than others , and in the middle of yesterday we had the Paella. But very soon they where all at it again , even I don`t get away and I do my best Gringo style. I ended up siiting next to a Teacher and her husband who was a Naval attache . he had been stationed in Germany for the Peruean government , he new some Norwegians from there and meant that Norway must bee a nice place , I told him the truth that I`m not really very PRO Norway as I think there are a lot of things very very wrong in Norway , even yesterday the first day of the winter olympics "we" did not win any medals and that I think was quite a shock for most Norwegians , but more of that later .
Anyway the party ended on a good note around 2:30 or so nobody seemed overly drunk or beeing miserable with their partners .

Observations in Pisco haze

Hi First time doing this , but have been thinking about it for a while , but most of the time my conclusion has been that why would anybody really care what I´m up to . But just realised I don`t care if people don`t care I just want this to be sort of my diary so when I´m older and have forgotten what I was up to I can hopefully remember to look at this !

Well here I am its the 14th feb 2010 (Valentines day ) and I`m in Asia Peru , Asia Peru is a real "funny" place. For a start why is it called Asia ? No idea will try and find out . Why am I here ? Because we have a house here and spend the winter (here is summer) here from end December till after Easter . Asia it`s 100 km from Lima it`s where the Limeneans spend their weekends and holidays between Dec and may . I would say the beach is maybe 10 km long and there are maybe 30 different urbanisation`s along the coast line . They are all very nice as it looks to be a competition among the owners who has the best looking house . We are in an Urbanisation called Play del Golf , Yeeessss Golf they opened a golf course last year it`s just behind the Bora Bora , Playa del Sol and Playa Golf Urbanisation . It´s a very nice Golf course and in excellent condition I will no doubt come back to Golf during my Blogging .

Yesterday we where invited to a party , Party is really the favourite pastime of the people here , there is always a party going on , yesterday was Santiago `s birthday Santiago is one of our neigbours here he own a Pisco and Wine "factory" . He is almost always drunk (maybe thats a litte unfair ) , but of course he has free Pisco and wine ....He speaks with a real rrrrring sound and although my spanish is getting better I can never really understand him , the others are struggeling too. he calls me Gringo which is ok because I am . Again yesterday was his birthday I have no Idea how old he is I assume around my age or slightly older . He has a girlfriend as he is divorced she is a little younger I would say 45 or so , she has a nice ass , but that`s about all.

Yesterday I think there must have been about a 100 people in his do , It`s said to be starting at 9 we arrived at 10 and there where not many people then , but from then on untill 12:30 a steady flow of people , we got free Pisco and wine , but I did not realise so we ordered Burbon and Cuba Libre so we had to pay for that . The do was in the Club house of Playa Golf a quite "funky" looking place next to the huge pool , it`s a restaurant and bar during normal days . He served Sushi which I did not eat and then the ever present Paella ? What is it with the Spanish speaking and Paella I have never got it they spend hours and hours to make it and in the end its a mix of rice and in this case pork and chicken , peas, beans etc etc . The chines call it fried rice and whip it up in a few minutes and quite frankly I think it tastes better .

They even have special cooks brought in to make the Paella , with big huge pans etc . These people yesterday I think had some problems as the food was not ready until almost 1 am . Before (and after) there where dancing . The dancing here seem to
