Saturday 13th June
Today the scenery was ready (...naked I mean) all the wooden peaces, and tubes were ready to be decorated. So today, my mom went and bought the 7 m of green fabric for the mount and the brown one for the palace. Lucianita came to watch how the play was going and she said she liked the scenery (well what was ready at that time). less than one week for the play and we were finally starting to rehearse the whole play !!! About the props...well read sebas blog and you'll find out...literally we had 0.5 % of all the props needed!!! and the play was going to be this Thursday. So, Felipe, Sebas and me...we are going to buy some props to the mercado central tomorrow. I hope we don't die...but know, we have the almuerzo de prom! ...Bon Appetite!
Sunday 14th June
So after partying hard enough to release tension yesterday, felipe and sebas came to my place around 11. We went to burger king to eat and then we went to the Mercado Central to finish with the prop list ...a huge prop list. JAJAJAJA too many things happened in there. We arrived and we were like the Paisana Jasinta when she arrived to Lima, however...i knew more less the area. OUR ADVENTURE BEGUN! ...we were walking and felipe saw this gloves that he wanted...and so we stopped and me and sebas we stayed standing in front of a store. Suddenly, we hear some whisteling...YES ...they liked us JJAJAJAJ but it was very uncomfortable, we turned around and saw this million girls after me and sebas...what's worst ...we had to pass by that damn store like 4 times..each time a choris of girls were heard. SOOOOO anyway, across the street we found the necklace for Estrella (...Check!), then we entered this stores which ....were uhm for parties where we found nothing...we literally didn't know what we were looking for ...so we just walked and look for something that we could use for the play. WE called my mom, and she told us about the big gallery called EL DORADO. looking for the dorado we found the crown for estrella (..check!) so we entered the dorado, and it was more of a handcraft store..luckily for me..we managed to buy 2 cintas to decorate the palace...which in the end it gave it the ROYAL look that we were looking for. Moreover, we kept on walking in the search for Basilio's crown...it was so frustrating to find most of the stores closed!, since it was sunday!! ...at the end we gave up any hope we had, we had two options ..either buy a cake mold and make it a crown OR make it out of tecnopor, either way ..it was going to be the worst crown int eh history of crowns. .....I think God felt sorry for us becuase out of the real NOWHERE, Pedro Pica..oh I'm sorry, Mr. Garcia the art teacher appeared and he told us where we could find the avanicos (fans?) and about a crown!! and about the relicario for astolfo!!! soo score!! we followed his instructions! ...the crown was sooooo expensive (40 soles...) but ..at the end we bought it...It looked great( CHECK!). then we walked like 3 blocks to the store mr. Garcia told us about the avanicos...but no..they were this HUGE avanicos for the wall, not good at all. SO once again, we called my mom, she said .."in the calle Kapon maybe"..so we walked to the calle and yes! we found this avanicos!!! (so ...12 checks! wooohoo) so now..to... Sr. de los Milagros to find the relicario....6 soles taxi.....TO FIND WHAT!? ...the stores closed..URG frustration but, we asked a lady were could we found something that looked like one and she said: inside the temple...(i told you ..God felt sorry for us and helped us a lot) and finally we improvised with a chain and a keychain to make a good relicario!! (CHECK!!!) and off we went home!! .....however, my dear sebastian said: OH SNAP! ...me and felipe: what! he: GARAPIÑAS.... we totally forgot about props for the other part of the play! and aaaaaaaaa stress...there was nothing else to do ...today... great adventure... 4 days to go, props and scenery yet not done. ..we suck..no WE ARCHI MEGA HIPER SUCK.

"the chronicles of central market" - nice account and anecdotes, however very little reflection this time... disappointing
