Change of plans. I am not on my way to the jungle. Butch is sick so I am flying back home tonight.
Before I end the Peru blog, I'll share some thoughts on the food of Peru. As anyone who has followed my blogs know, I love South America and especially South American food. Granted I did not care for the Guinea Pig and I ate enough Alpaca for a lifetime but the rest of the food was excellent. Almost all dishes include potato in some form. Everything was very fresh. Lomo saltado is all the rage at the moment - it is a Peru-China fusion dish with stir fried beef and vegetables, rice and potatoes. The soup is almost as good as the soup in Ecuador.
As an example, Quinoa coated chicken:
The official drink of Peru is the Pisco Sour. Don't worry I will bring some Pisco home.
Here is the butler at the hotel in Cusco giving us a Pisco Sour making lesson
To be filed under, "Things you don't see in the United States" -- Here is an arrow indicating that people should not step off the cliff and drop to a certain death 1000 feet below. In the US, there would certainly be railings to prevent people from plunging to their death. In Peru, a simple arrow will do.
And one last picture from Machu Picchu. In the lower left corner, that's me and Angela sitting on the top of Waynapicchu mountain
