I woke up a little hungover this morning with no water for an anodyne because I ended up the previous night with bills only worth 100 soles in my wallet, bills which, paradoxically, are usually worth nothing because no one has enough change to accept them. After a breakfast “Americano” style—scrambled eggs, bread, butter, jelly, juice, and coffee or tea—Tali and I took a taxi from Huacachina to Ica for the final time in order to take a bus back to Lima; the strike was over. The slow busride included SPIDERMAN 2 (a film which I’ve now seen a total of three times, all in Spanish-speaking countries) and DUPLEX.
