After buying the SIM card yesterday and plodding through the Spanish instructions, it appeared to be working- but quit soon after. It cost $1.99 so I figured it needed topping up and could find no way to do it on-line. Went back to the store and the clerk didn’t understand me- tried to sell me a new one. I told him “ya comprado” (I already bought it), a phrase we learned from our guide to fend off aggressive peddlers in Peru. He nodded and said, “recargar”, a word I recognized. He poked my number into the computer and $10 later I had data. SO pleased I actually installed it correctly.
We went into the old city today- really beautiful architecture. We visited the most famous church- the Jesuit church, wall-to-wall gold leaf, gaudy but beautiful. Photos were prohibited so here's a post card.
