Daniela was still not feeling well and I was coming down with it as well by this point so we had a late start for the day just in time to get cleaned up and checked out of the apartment. The owner of the apartment was very nice and met us on the way out. They apparently live in the same building. We commented that blackout curtains would help as it gets light at 5 and they have only a sheer curtain which works somewhat when it is dark out but not as soon as the sun comes up.
From the apartment we headed to Daniela's house where I really wanted to just back in bed but they made a family trip to La Punta for seafood. Lucho drove his car there so we didn't have to get a taxi. We chose the restaurant Santa Pesca probably because of the guy handing out business cards on the way into La Punta. We split an order of ceviche to start and I had chicharon de pescado which is small pieces of fried fish. They had a guy singing live entertainment at the restaurant and when he learned it was my mother-in-law's birthday he made sure to mention her every song and he also had a fake cake and sang happy birthday in English and in Spanish. We split lemonade pitchers and everyone ordered their own dishes. The food was really good. After we finished eating we drove back to the house where I hoped to get in bed for some time but it was not to be.
Daniela and I went out to Minka to do some shopping for her mother and to get our airplane tickets printed and some money changed. This took a while and by the time we got back I was given maybe 20 minutes of nap before everyone came over for her mother's birthday. Donna cooked the food except the cake which her mother made herself. Donna made spaghetti with tomato sauce and leftover turkey. We had a couple pisco drinks and a bottle of wine. The attendees were Daniela's family and Yanina and her mother. It was a nice night and there was some dancing and stuff like that. We finished up somewhere past midnight and I went to bed almost immediately but we had to wake up at 3am anyway so really I didn't get much sleep.
I will post all the pictures at a later time.
