I dedicate this post to that unexpected night of slumber a few friends and I shared a couple weeks back w/one kickin' group of Peruvians in one unassuming Peruvian joint known as "La Rica Vicky". We found ourselves at this horribly lit, no frills eatery quite randomly one evening as we wandered the streets post-Bomba (Monday night percussion show) in search of sustenance. It was Julie from France's birthday, and so of course, we all brought our festive energy into Vicky's, and immediately passed it along to the two other tables in the restaurant- giving way to one bizarrely beautiful noche. I suppose this was to be expected though, for when you throw a few Californians together with three Frenchies, two Argentinas, and a handful of Peruvians (plus a few rounds of cerveza)...good times are a given.
Newfound friends.
Mathieu buys not one bouquet, but he makes the flower vendor's night and buys all of them for his lovely Julie.
We made quite the scene running from table to table snapping photos of our motley crew.
We then tried to get photos with all of the staff...even managed to get the shy cook to come out!
Mathieu starts popping open the bottles of bubbly...
Coller, Mathieu, & Julieta.
Julie the birthday girl w/beer soaked hair (thanks to the Peruvians who literally poured glasses of brew on her head.)
Please note the bottle of Quilmes that big red mama has between Mathieu's spread-eagled piernas...
The hooting and hollering coming from these ladies was priceless..."Eso!Eso!Eso!Eso!"
After about 5 minutes of the whole restaurant chanting "Torta! Torta!" our waitress brought out this jello whipped cream creation...and without a candle to light, we topped this sucker w/a ciggy and started in on the "feliz cumple"...
Photo sessions taken out of doors...
Not sure where this bici came from...???
Saluuuuud!!!
