Happy birthday!!!!

We celebrated Matthew’s birthday on Thursday 17th of May, with a big chocolate cake that we shared with the people that run the hostel where we are staying. Lacking ideas for presents, and under the limitation of not wanting to further increase the weight of our rucksacks, Matthew ended up receiving, among other things, a litre of milk, a yogurt, and various other snacks, all nicely wrapped. Maybe because he is very polite, or because he has been lots of months without drinking milk, Matthew tried to convince me that the pack of milk is the best birthday present he has ever received… although I suspect it is not quite true! To finish the day we went to have some beers and eat pizza in a small pizza place nearby. We ended up sharing table and pizza with a family from Cuzco, two sisters and a brother, and together toasting Matthew with Inca Kola. Maybe it was not the most romantic birthday dinner, but toasting with Inca Kola is definitely a unique experience…. Happy birthday!!
