Saturday we got the opportunity to go see Los Fabulosos Cadillacs in concert. I had not heard them before but they are immensely popular here. They are an Argentinian rock group that plays a really good fusion of funk, rock, and latin american style. This was their first ever apperance in Arequipa and people had been talking about the show for weeks. As you can imagine the crowd atmosphere was great. We didn't know one song from the next but still danced and jumped up and down along with everyone else.
The concert wrapped up a hugely eventful weekend. Celebrations for Grace's 21st started Thursday at dance class and spilled out into the centro on Thursday night/ Friday morning. Friday night there was a bonfire at the Arequipa director's house complete with cake, ponche con aniz, anticucho, and our friends from classes. Per usual we followed up our time there with a little stop through downtown.
The weekend did also include some school work. Worked my way through "Balbas del Diablo" by Julio Cortázar and "Antes del Fin" by Ernesto Sabato for lit and Steve Stern's "Peru's indian Peoples and the Challenges of Spanish Conquest" for history. (This paragraph was purely in case you were getting the feeling we don't do much work ;) ).
