When we woke up, it was late for the breakfast we were supposed to have at Donna and Edwin's house. However we got cleaned up and headed over and were able to have a quick snack there before we went to San Borja to attend a VIP showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Edwin had gotten the tickets which included the show and 4 popcorn and soda combos. The theater was Cineplanet. We arrived with a couple minutes to spare and Daniela and Donna got the food and were a couple minutes late. Edwin and I took pictures with the costumed characters that were posing with people for the show. The costumes weren't bad. The stormtroopers and Darth Vader were both very good. Maybe Boba Fett wasn't so great but not bad anyway. The movie was in English with Spanish subtitles so I was safe. The few spots of alien language that had subs had both too.
Not getting into heavy details. I will say I liked the movie. It had some issues but nothing too glaring and was overall fun. Unlike in episodes 1, 2 and 3 I actually wanted the characters to succeed in this movie. It did maybe feel a little bit long at some points but not in the same way that I felt that both of the Avengers were too long. I would say if you are a Star Wars fan that didn't like episodes 1, 2 and 3 like I am then you may still actually like this one.
After the movie we had to go to a shopping area because Donna was having the dress done for her wedding and they needed to be with the seamstress for the fitting and adjustments and such. So Edwin and I walked around and he shopped for ties and shoes but only succeeded on shoes by the end. In the middle we ate lunch at a place called Maria Pastor which has pretty much all the Peruvian standards. We had a sampler plate with ceviche and fried calamari and causa on it. I had the lomo saltado which was quite good. Daniela had chaufa con mariscos which is chinese style rice with shellfish. Edwin and I had beer and Daniela and Donna had chicha morada. After lunch was done it was back to the seamstress for them and Edwin and I were able to find some shoes for him. We still couldn't find a tie so we went to a mall near their house and went to Ripley and Saga Falabella and found something that worked in Saga so bought that.
After the mall it was on to their house where we had a dessert and coffee. I had an piece of apple pie and Daniela had a passion fruit cream pie. Edwin bought the desserts from a shop down the street. So we stayed and talked for a while before we headed back to Daniela's house for the night and I think I passed out instantly.
