Overall a very uneventful weekend. Earlier this morning my family went out out to the movie theater and I stayed back to finish reading my book. Made some lunch and wandered around the park and the market. At the free exhibit in the Casa de la Cultura, someone had decided it would be a good idea to do a hybrid exhibit---part poorly rendered modern geometric art and part ancient Incan sculptures--completely intermixed. The ancient sculptures were wonderful, with the oddest variety of expressions. I faced each ancient carved face and waited till no one was looking. then I assumed, in turn the expression of each carving. This went on for about 30 sculptures. Jolly good solitary fun! I stood in for a little while on this big family music concert and then Sara came over and read Bel Canto aloud to me out on the terrace.
