Peru: Mi Valicha

As mentioned, I recently took a trip to Peru, visiting the Amazon area, Cusco, and Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes… follow along as I show you everything I ate on my amazing trip!Our final meal in Peru, HB and I decided to wander close to the hotel and see what we could find.  We tried to go to Pollos Broaster again since I’d LOVED it and had raved about it to her – and we were both very low on sols, with no real reason to exchange more money so late in the trip – but it was closed.  We’re still not sure [...]

Peru: Yajuu!

As mentioned, I recently took a trip to Peru, visiting the Amazon area, Cusco, and Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes… follow along as I show you everything I ate on my amazing trip! Our first day walking around Cusco had led us past this storefront, which amused us so much we took a picture of it.  During our bus ride from the train back to Cusco, we overheard these annoying and giggly girls (that we then kept running into… ick) saying how awesome and cheap this place was for fruit shakes/smoothies, and how the drinks were so huge the three of them had [...]

Peru: Pizzeria “Libertad”

As mentioned, I recently took a trip to Peru, visiting the Amazon area, Cusco, and Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes… follow along as I show you everything I ate on my amazing trip! I wondered if I could walk in and reel in my own trout – they have restaurants like that in Asia (so I’ve read) – freshest fish dinner ever!  After our terrible meal and good Jello, HBBF and I discussed something that had been on my mind the entire trip.  I wanted cuy.  He was game (ha) to try it, though BF and HB both were like, no, no way, [...]

Peru: Machu Picchu, Part 2

As mentioned, I recently took a trip to Peru, visiting the Amazon area, Cusco, and Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes… follow along as I show you everything I ate on my amazing trip!After our first day mountain climbing, the mad rush for the bus down to Aguas Calientes, and my intense but silent fury at our tour guide, Freddy, I was about done with the day.  Of course, it was only about 6:30… so I trucked onwards and tried to put on a good face (which is really difficult when I’m around people who know me well; they get to see me at my [...]
