Streaker

So. This is a great story. There will be no pictures, you'll be thankful for that.

On Fridays, we're going with our friend Santiago to a part of Lima called Pamplona.  It started out as a shanty town, and now its HUGE, but it's definitely one of the poorest places in Lima. He's been doing Bible study with some ladies there a couple days a week.  It's been pretty neat to be a part of, and Santiago refuses to let us just sit in.  He makes us speak in Spanish, even when we don't want to and we aren't prepared, but we're better because of it!

Anyways, we usually meet him in Parque Kennedy and get lunch before the hour long bus ride there.  After lunch, we were standing on the sidewalk waiting for the bus, and Melissa notices a cop on a segway crossing the street.  Yes, in this crazy busy popular part of town, its a bit odd to see that, but not too out of the ordinary.  Here's the dialogue from this time.. "There's a cop on a segway."-- Melissa. "There's a naked guy beside him!"-- Santiago.

This is a true story.  There was a bare butt naked man walking beside this cop crossing the street!  TRAUMATIZING!! He then proceeded to run in between the cars stopped at the red light while the cops chased him. EVEN MORE TRAUMATIZING! At one point he ran into a guy on a motorcycle! ahh! Luckily our bus was there (they had their doors closed so he couldn't run on there), and they let us on!  Once we got through the traffic lights, we saw that the cops had caught the streaker (PTL). 

This is soo not what I expected to happen when I woke up yesterday!
