Last night we -Liz, Diego, Rafa, Miranda, Jacho, and I- headed to the water park -the Circuito Magico de Aguas- as it was host to a pisco and marinera festival for National Pisco Day.
We had quite a time getting to the park as it also happened to be the night of the inauguration of the completely remodeled National Stadium, right nextdoor, with a game between the national youth soccer teams of Peru and Spain. To make things worse, the president arranged for the national soccer team which placed 3rd in the Copa America in Argentina on Saturday to be at the stadium, so the crowds were huge inside the stadium and outside.
Eventually, we made it into the park after 9 o'clock and had a really nice time wandering through the gardens and enjoying the fountains.
Most of the fountains are strictly for viewing, some coreographed to music -as in the one in the video above- but there is one that is interactive and a perennial favourite:
No matter what the season or the weather it is always filled with young people trying their luck at avoiding getting soaked.
Rafa and Liz managed to get through with only their shoes getting wet, but Jacho got hit in the behind with a jet of water!
