We needed a bathroom in the middle of the Andes mountains. Glad they were clearly marked.

Guinea Pigs Are Not Pets

They call them ‘Cuy’ and they are not pets. It’s a bit like Red Lobster where you pick out the one you want and they prepare them for you. Deep fried whole (I have pictures but I’ll spare you as it’s not pretty). They say it’s very tasty but I have not experienced it for myself. So why Guinea Pigs? Well they are cheap source of meat that reproduces very quickly. They have a phrase that says if you want an army of Cuy all you need is one couple in love. Three to four babies can be produced per month and breading age is reached within a month. It also only takes three months to be ready to eat. Anyone hungry?
Pizza Combo

We went to the grocery store, which is always interesting to see the differences between parts of the U.S., but throw in another country and it’s just funny. So this is a take and bake pizza taped to a bottle of Peruvian soda called “Inca Cola” all for about $5 U.S. I especially thought the label of “Pizza Americana” to be a presumptuous but probably accurate statements about our eating habits.
