Back in the sierra
Finally got some serious dancing done over the weekend. Some friends took me and my cousin Fernando to some discoteca in a small town outside of Macas to a concert. I was super excited because the only concert I have been to was of the miltary band variety. When I asked who the artist was they said it was a Pablo Noboa a very famous singer. Question marks abounded in my brain so I asked who the guy was and they said that he was the singer of a very popular band in the 80´s who has gone solo now and sings alot of his old band´s most popular songs (sound familar?).
Unlike the Clash the music from the band La Pandilla is pure fromage. It´s all ¨The only person I hate more than you for loving you is me¨type of stuff. The tunes were awful catchy and I ended up singing some of them by the end of night. Thankfully they played some kick ass cumbia and salsa before and after.
These woman down here can dance!! One of them danced so well that I thought I sired a child with her. Got back to the hostel 630a or so and had to get back on the road by 11a, just to go back out and meet up with a friend I had met on the plane from Quito to Cuenca. All in all not a bad weekend.
I also met up with the part of the family which is investigating the the Italian part of my family tree. They are still trying to find out who exactly is the family member that was born Italia and also what part of the boot they are from. I have always been told we were of southern Italian descent,which is fine by me because I have heard that Northern Italians are a bunch of stupid ass jerks.
This part of the family is also the part that isn´t Bahaí, which means they drink and party a whole hell of alot more than the part of the family I am close to. They also own a discoteca or hotel or something and want me to DJ sometime before I leave. Fuck yeah!!!
On a final note, I have been hardly speaking let alone writing much English at all. Aside from Saturday night I haven´t spoken any English at all for almost two weeks. I will probably end up speaking like Manuel from Faulty Towers when I get back.
¨I speak English, I learned it from a book¨
I also have been reading in Spanish although that hasn´t been going very well. I think I will read Don Quijote in English first. I have already ending up re reading Everything is Illuminated which is wonderful btw. Even better the second time around.
Also all out there who know Tami, she will be in town the 16th so don´t nobody make no plans ok? Let´s all meet at chrissy mac´s and go somewhere to dance afterward, even though Tami has probably forgotten all the dancing I taught her, being in limey-landia so long. Take a Salsa class with Georgie for God´s sake lol!!
Ciao
