After what was a long week here in Lima, a few friends of mine and I decided to get together for drinks last Saturday. Zdenka and I arrived at Albazo's around 9:30PM, where I had told everyone earlier to meetup.
Albazo's is this small little bar on Av. Berlin, located just around the corner from the Calle de Los Pizzas in Miraflores. The thing I enjoy most about this bar is that it's usually never croweded which, makes it a great spot for gatherings with friends. The place serves a wide array of alcoholic beverages at reasonable prices for being located in Miraflores. I usually prefer to order my 1 liter bottle of Pilsen and at S/.11 it's a great deal. The music at Albazo's pretty much says alot about the people who frequent their, nothing but good 90's and 80's music, for me this is a nice change in pace from all the latin music that I hear regularly (not that I don't like it either).
for those of you who are interested here is the address: calle berlin 172, Miraflores
Sitting there waiting for my friends to show up we decided to have a few drinks and enjoy the loud drunken shouting of a group of guys who were rocking out to Los Heroes del Silencio. Unfortunately for us the DJ (or who ever the hell was in charge of the music) decided to humor the group by playing a marathon of "Heroes", which only meant a continuous, almost never ending roar of off key singing. I should also probably mention that Zdenka had been and continued to suffer from a tremendous migrane of epic proportions that not even 4 excedrins, 2 cups of mate de coca, and an almost empty bottle of beer could cure. It would be an understatement to say she was in pain, yet being the trooper and awesome girlfriend she decided to stay inspite of my attempts to call it an early night. When the music had finally switched gears and all the shouting had come to a lull, my friends came waltzing in one by one through the door. Orgasms, Vodka/Tonics, Pilsen, and a side of french fries were ordered as we put our still sober heads together to come up with a game plan for the night.
A decision was made and dancing was elected as the designated activity for the night. Walking down the crowded Calle de Los Pizzas we found a club that was decent enough without being ridiculously packed. The music was varied but wasn't any different from you hear at just about every other club (with the exception of electronica and techo...That GOD). More beer was consumed as is custom as well as law in such places. I did my fair share of dancing, though in all honesty I could have danced more. Everyone appeared to be having a good time and the night was starting to wind down. It was roughly around 2AM when Zdenka looked over at me and visually threw in the towel. I said OK and we said our goodbyes to everyone and were quickly on our way home. Thankfully I was sedated enough to not really care about sleeping on the couch but in all honesty I can sleep on just about any surface if the situation calls for it.
