And while we're discussing alcohol...

I'm very glad my Christian friends understand the freedom of moderation. Today I was on a combi from Huaycan and, crammed next to a woman from the mountains with a baby strapped to her back and about 15 others in this tiny Asian vehicle, a man got on and sat in front of me in a seat that faced me. He started saying things that I couldn't understand, and I just couldn't figure out who he was talking to. Umm - it was no one. Woo hoo! A very alarmed Kelly. I figured out he was drunk when he breathed in my direction and (in English no less!!) says betwen mumblings, "I'm just so F*@%$ng tired!!". Wow. He continued to yell maledictions to someone unknown and something about wanting to be left alone while I started getting nervous about my stop coming soon - I'd have to climb over the guy!

The combi lady that controls the flow of traffic finally let him off without paying. She muttered "Borracho!" under her breath.
