about a week after staying in cape coral, my family drove to miami, and we flew to lima, peru. with just the five of us, it was actually pretty cool and chill, but i knew that once cau ngan and the rest of his family arrived, it would be a reoccurring nightmare i get every time we travel internationally with him. but the first night was great! just the five of us, we bought a bunch of quail eggs which were really good and we ate a small restaurant aside the road. the airbnb wasn’t that great but i thought it was pretty decent, and i knew khoi and y vien would disagree with me. gladly, i fell asleep by the time they arrived. lima is very cool, there’s a lot of really wide streets with barely any cars, and a small chinatown where we had dim sum. we walked around a lot and even took a metro, which was an experience. a very squishy experience. and then for dinner we ate a vietnamese restaurant. i feel like he always does this. “lets go to a foreign country and then eat food that isn’t originally from that country!” i was dying to eat an empanada. also y vien got really fussy that evening, probably cause we’d been walking around all day. but then i was talking to her about car traffic or something, and then she told me to throw myself into traffic. how exciting. like i said, khoi and y vien did not like the airbnb, they complained about the water temperature, the lights, the wifi, even the windows. i thought it was cozy. thucdan, thucquyen, and i slept on the same bed the last night, but now that cau’s family was here, one of would have to sleep with y vien. i lost the rock paper scissors game, so i had to sleep with that little gremlin.
