After our excitement with the power going off our appetite for a worthy film waned and Esther looked ready to go to sleep so we watched Wallace & Gromit again. It's not often that I want to settle down and watch a specific football match on cable here but the Chelsea v Colchester game caught my eye, typically they were showing Spanish football live instead, so I had to make do with the text on the BBC website. We ordered a pizza this afternoon for Esther, Valerio and myself from the place around the corner. The pizza arrived on its wooden base with instructions to return it when we were finished, sometimes it can be quite quaint here. After our food we went for a quick spin around the Plaza de Armas and fell victim to a not so quaint tradition. Throughout February, carnival is celebrated in South America, in Brazil this means lots of buxom women shimmying to samba with hardly any clothes on. In Peru it is celebrated by filling balloons with water and throwing them either from balconies at unsuspecting passers by or directly at people on the street. It's not so bad in Lima where it's hot, but here an icy gallon of water in the face at 6pm is no fun. Anyway we were walking back from the Plaza when a child in a passing taxi squirted an unknown white liquid all over Salvador's buggy. That went down very well. Yesterday we got attacked with water on the way to the black market and the day before Jesus had to swerve to avoid a direct hit whilst driving through the middle of nowhere. Being hit unexpectedly on the street is bad enough but targeting a moving taxi is just dangerous.
