After yesterdays excesses of gold penises and royal wedding souvenirs a 'normal' day was more than welcome.
A barbecue in the afternoon at Esther's cousin's Renato's saw most of the family together again.
When I was little, every so often a 'Top of the Pops' disc of crap cover versions was released.
I was delighted this afternoon that the tradition has found a new home here in Peru.
Long consigned to the 70's rubbish heap in the image obsessed UK these strange songs are enjoying a new lease of life here.
In a crooning, easy listening style I wallowed in 'Boys Don't Cry' by the Cure, 'Girls on Film' by Duran Duran and 'Brown Sugar' by the Stones.
It took a while to figure which song was which but the wait was worth it.
As I entertained myself, Salvador entertained the family and was re-aquainted with his cousin Renata.
Today is Cinema day in Peru where all films cost 3.50 soles, about 60p so I think we are off to the pictures tonight.
