So we had a midterm today. It was easy. Not much to say on that.
The exciting part was just BEFORE the midterm, when I went to a restaurant near the Plaza de Armas which served guinea pig! It's know here as
cuy. It's salty and gamey and has the texture of chicken. Overall, I found it quite delicious.
Pictures ensue:
 |
The people at the table behind me were horrified. It was
hilarious. |
 |
| Smile for the camera, piggeh. |
Aside from that wonderful experience, I've also been doing a lot of shopping. Here's
almost everything I've bought thus far:
 |
| It's a llama! |
 |
| Shoes for dad. Alpaca fur! |
 |
Chintzy bottle openers. One is a tumi, the
other has Machu Picchu on it. |
 |
| Socks! |
 |
| My personal alpaca fur slippers. |
 |
| More alpaca socks! |
 |
Some cute beaded things. I don't know what they're actually
meant for, but I'm using them as jewelry. |
 |
| Some chullo hats! |
 |
| An alpaca sweater for B.Joyful |
 |
An alpaca blanket! It keeps me toasty here
in the Andes. |
 |
| Finger puppets for Marcus! There are two more, as well. |
And a whole bunch of random pictures that have been sitting on my SD card, waiting to be used. We're at the halfway mark on the trip, so I figure it's time to purge all this.
 |
| A cake case at the local supermarket bakery, for mom. :) |
 |
| Delicious Choko cookies and a Sublime stick. |
 |
| More snacks bought from a street vendor. |
 |
It's the 100th anniversary of the "discovery"
of Machu Picchu by Hiram Bingam. |
That is all for tonight, my love muffins! See you tomorrow when I report back on the ruins at Sacsayhuaman.
Love,

Here I am to keep your Europe views up! Lol.
ReplyDeleteThey left the teeth on the Guinea Pig! How cute.
I'm glad it was delicious. I like your socks.
