Off to the "Love Park," where EVERYONE is making out, v. strange when you actually see it. I wonder if tourists in uncontrollable fits of giggles ever puts them off- I suppose they get used to it. Not that we were laughing in their face but the concept is simply so strange. Great photo opportunity.

Watch the Champions League semi in the presence of none other than "Hector Chumpitaz." Who? Well thats what we said when he was mobbed. After he left we discover he is Peru´s version of Pele and one of SA´s all time greats!! Of course. Opportunity missed! Especially as he was signing shirts.

We then catch the May Day celebrations in the main plaza all music and dance. Then something cultural: the church housing the tomb of the 1st black saint and catacombs, which to be honest were a little too grim..............see its not all drinking.
