How many people can fit in a Peruvian cab?

Yesterday we had 9 new volunteers come in. They are a group that is called SOS and they are all from France only they speak more English than the other volunteers. Last night after dinner we decided to go into the square and go to a bar that our friends recomended because it had good live music. We walked up to the bus stop but when the bus came by he said that he was going home for the night so we hailed the next cab and decided to all pile in the cab (all 10 of us plus the cab driver and his wife) this was an experience to say the least and reminded me a bit of some of my trips down to football games or Sonic only typically I am the one driving and so its comfortable. After bottoming out on every speed but we finally made it to the square and began looking for the bar. After asking about 20 different people and looking for 45 minutes we finally found it...and it was closed. The people I was with finally just gave up and decided to go grab some drinks at a chinese restaraunt but they did not serve alcohol there so instead we all had some Inca cola and then all 10 of us piled back into a taxi and went back to the casa for the night.



Here is a picture but it does not quite fully capture the moment.

  1. Hope you all had your shower that day! Sounds like you are going to want to go with April, Scott, and I to France.
    Love you
