Shopping and TaeKwando

Slept late this morning. Woke up at 7am, but the next time I checked the time it was 10am!! Oops. I still have a cold, so I guess my body needed the rest.
Walked over to the police station and watched the boy´s soccer game. The seats along the buildings were so hot it was impossible to sit. Felt like it would burn a hole through my shorts and skin when I tried, and it was fun to watch latecomers try to sit and fly straight up very quickly rubbing their behinds! The teams played really hard and it was a great game, but our boys still lost 5-2, and they were so sad. I tried to encourage them and gave them hugs before leaving for the market. I needed to try to find some shoes for my boy´s birthday in a couple of days. I haven´t strolled around much in that area, besides the fruit stands and a few other sections, but I came a across a huge clothing area and found him lots of other clothes for his birthday. Score! It is a good thing I´m too tall and big for most of the clothes here in Peru, or I would be tempted to shop for myself too. Saw lots of cute stuff, but I didn´t even bother trying any of it on.
There were lots of activities at the beach all day today, as all the summer programs were ending, and I walked down there this afternoon. Wanted to see if I could find the kids from the orphanage if they were there, but also do some people watching. They weren´t there, but I spent a long time watching TaeKwando competitions. It is a fun sport and looks like great exercise. While I was enjoying the show, I met an older man who had lived in Florida, so he spoke a little English. I got the feeling he was trying to set me up with his friend, who didn´t speak any English, but he kept telling me about his friend and what a great job as an aircraft mechanic in Lima, that he was single etc... The friend just stood there smiling at me the whole time. I was friendly, but refused to tell them what street I lived on and eventually they left. Despite the topic, it was nice to talk to someone. I wish I was fluent in Spanish so I could chitchat with anybody.
