We haven’t been out a great deal in the evenings because Anastassja teaches from 7-9pm every weekday evening at the Alliance Française, but Sunday was an exception – we went to see a live performance of Andean music and dance. Entry was included on our “boleto turistico”. The show was surprisingly good – lots of costume changes, attractive and energetic dancers of both sexes and a mixed audience of tourists and Peruvians – apparently the programme changes regularly, so people come back. This show really brought it home to me how out of place the Peruvian musicians to be found in the tunnels of the Paris metro are! And how much they must miss their beautiful Peru!

"The visitor must have a fund of intelligent imagination and a blind eye for incongruities and then his peregrinations will be a remembered pleasure."
