My new Muay Thai gym here in Boise. Much better than the one in Peru, although I’ll never forget all those rainy nights, training on wet mats from the leaks in the roof. Ahh how I miss Peru.  Shout-out goes to Walter, my Peruvian buddy who got me into Muay Thai. Hopefully his toe is better so from here on out, after I win, I won’t have to hear, “Well ya see my toe hurts, so I wasn’t at 100%”.

And this is the infamous owner / freelance equipment builder of my gym. Here you can see he’s hard at work constructing god knows what, most certainly about to ask me to try it out. Well shucks, I’m flattered.

Who knew the 71 year old owner of my gym was a die hard Mariners fan? I wonder if he gets as frustrated as my WA state friend’s do when the M’s choke… Probably.  Speaking of which, due to ‘financial restrictions’, my gym owner seems to think he is perfectly capable of welding random pieces of metal together to recreate pictures of machines taken off the internet. Of course, I’m the guinea pig and with a frantic waving of his arms and a complete disregard to my forlorn look, I hop on his “machine” and give it a whirl. Although 1 or 2 have worked, I’m usually diving out of the way of crashing metal as I give him an “I told you so” look. Like a mad scientist, he grabs the parts, hauls them outside, and fires up the torch in an attempt to mimic the “oh so favorable” American weight machines. As I glance outside he turns around and gives me that “I’ll get it this time” look, although I’m sure we both know what we can expect the outcome to be.

Although my gym is called “Gimnasio de Oro”, it’s not quite the same as a Gold’s Gym in the states. It’s small, dirty, the weights are rusty, and the owner is quirky; but I love it. Did I use the semicolon correctly?  Getting ready for my Portuguese class by writing down what I ‘think’ the lyrics are to a Portuguese song. I’m looking at what I’ve written wondering if these words even exist in any language. Ya, upon second glance, I’m pretty sure I’ve just written the equivalent of kindergarten scribble. My teacher loves me. Até logo!

I love this heavy bag. I’ll be splitting the cost with the 70 year old gym owner for a double end boxing bag and can’t wait to get started on that. Nothing quite like punching a bag to relieve the stress of every Peruvian student misspelling ‘beautiful’ & ‘quiet’ in each and every piece of writing.

Super Bowl in spanish was interesting to say the least. Lacking of course were American commercials. A bit awkward to snap a pic of some kid on the street, but he was looking fresh in that Peru jacket. Kid in the white was at the gym today showing me how to work the bum treadmill. It’s a piece of rubber around a bunch of metal tubes, real classy gym equipment here in Arequipa. But what Peru lacks in gym quality, they make up for in empanadas, which are outstanding if you haven’t tried them.
