Peru: Machu Picchu, Part 1

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 being in Peru for almost 5 whole days, it was finally time.  We woke up super early, headed to the meeting spot, and were shuttled over to the bus station, where we boarded what amounted to a van that would take us to the train station.  Before January 2010, normally, we would just get on the train, but because of the huge rains this past rainy season, there were major [...]

Peru: Pollos Broaster Al Paso

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! The night before we were all set to climb Machu Picchu, the four of us headed over to Cicciolina for dinner.  I took pictures of the outside and was all set to have tapas and dinner with the group, but a glance at the menu revealed that sushi was one of the items.  A further glance down the menu revealed prices higher than I cared for; not that they were [...]

Following our drinks/snack at Trotamundos Cafe, HBBF led the way to another place mentioned in the guidebook – Victor Victoria.  As we wended our way through the narrow streets, night fell, and we had a little trouble finding it.  Outside many restaurants – particularly those that cater to tourists – people stood, trying to ‘lure’ people into the restaurant itself by telling passersby, “Set menu, really cheap, good food” and [...]

Peru: Trotamundos Cafe

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 lunch, we wandered around for a bit, taking pictures of whatever we walked by that looked remotely interesting, HBBF wanted to check out one of the cafes that surrounds Plaza Armas with tables on balconies overlooking the Plaza.  After a bit of searching for the entrance, we bustled into Trotamundos Cafe.  Interesting artwork adorned the walls, including this piece of a naked woman playing the piano.  What made it interesting, however, [...]
