Woot! Woot! Off to South America. Pretty awesome that the time change isn’t that great. Most of the trips I have been on the time change is killer. Even the 7 hour layover in Florida wasn’t that bad. Actually I spent most of my time writing a review of why you should never use Priceline. See reviews. We dropped down in Lima and we didn’t have but one day before we moved onto the next city. We booked a tour with Foodies Peru and honestly you should always do a little walking tour right when you come into a new country. It helps you acclimate to the environment and get to know your surroundings. In this case, get to know the food! We were hungry. Well... some of us are always hungry... 😊 We met Daniel at the gallery by Kennedy Park. The park is two million cats. They were all so cute. I wanted to take them all home. Anyway, back to food... Daniel took us on a nice little walk around Miraflores. Miraflores is basically where tourist stay because it’s the “safe” part of Peru. I cant remember all of the food had. Sorry. 😔 Unfortunately my memory is complete crap and I will normally forget names not never photos. I know we had ceviche, some potato and cream based dish, a lamb, two different kinds of drinks, one being Chicha Morada, chicolage dessert. i would have to say that my favorite part was walking around the market and trying the different fruits. We also had a smoothie type drink. I love fresh made drinks. Out of all of the. Food options the cerviche was the best. However, I would have liked a sandwich option or fusion food to try as well. Oh, before i forget, hereis a photo of one of the pieces in the art gallery. I love that this was community piece. Also, if you can’t read Spanish, The Google Translator app is pretty sweet. Just use the camera function and wave it over the words. It will translate it for you! Technology. How cool. 😏
We finished up with Daniel at the Choco Museo and then exchanged numbers to meet up later for dinner and drink. Stay tuned for Amaz. 😬

Sooooo someone wanted to get regular food after conquering Machu Picchu. The food so far has been decent. For some reason I just wanted a burger. So we stopped at Bembos. Yeah. I should have gotten pizza because the ‘beef’ burger was weirdly mushy in a way that told me I was not eating beef...I blame myself for this meal. we walked around the flea market shop area. Basically every stall has the exact same thing so it was hard to pick up souvenirs. I hate just picking up junk. We ended up grabbing a coffee and just hanging out in WiFi for awhile. It was really nice. The coffee was good. The music was soothing and no one was there. Perrrfect! We were heading to the train soon. it seemed like such a long day. Machu Picchu. Wandering. Packing. Train. Getting off. Finding SAM travel. A couple hours drive to Cusco. In the van I started to feel nausea from the car ride... or the food... we finally made it to Yawar Inca which was the nicest hotel we have stayed in and it also was the fastest stay. :( Basically we were there to sleep then up again at 4am... we had not eaten since Bembos... It was kind of late to have dinner but we went to La Quinta anyway. It kind of was a shady walk down the street and over a block. Some guy started talking to us and following us. It was weird. I think he was trying to take us somewhere. No thank you.
There was so many good sounding options on this menu but... since I wasn’t feeling well I opted for the kids chicken nuggets and fries. Lol Anyway, we don’t need to get into details but I was sickity sick. It just got worse and worse. We woke up early and was at the airport. I could barely keep my eyes open. I slept until we boarded the plane and just before the plane started its ascend I felt like I was going to throw up. I resigned myself to doing it in my cap. I felt bad for the guy sitting next to me. He probably thought I drank too much Chicha the night before. I made it to Casa Arequipa without getting sick on myself or anyone else. It was a win. I’m underplaying it a little. It was a bit serious. I’ve never felt so sick. It was a combination of weird food and dehydration. Maybe some altitude issues. No bueno. Make sure to take care of yourselves! |
"Ohhhh the places you'll go…" Growing up all I ever wanted to do was help people, learn, and travel. I'm lucky. I get to do all of those things and more.
This is just some food from some places I've been. CategoriesArchives |
