Hey Tablets, guess what? I got impulsive again and bought a ticket to
Peru! What is surprising is that I’ve
made every flight involved in getting down here, what isn’t surprising is that
I did absolutely no planning for once I got down here. Luckily the friend I am here with is good at
that, so I should be okay. Anyway, I
figured you all missed me enough that I should give you a day-by-day update of
my skewed interpretation of everything I do here, so here we go.
Day 1 Update: Today I woke up to a beautiful Peruvian
morning (91% humidity at 9am). I am
larger than the average human here, and their breakfasts are not portioned for
people that eat like I do. We left
immediately after my I-am-unwillingly-on-a-diet-breakfast, to go on a tour of
some ruins, and on the way back passed a cop pissing in an alley. I wanted to arrest him, but I don’t know the
Spanish version of the Miranda Rights and also I’m pretty sure those don’t
exist.
Upon our return, during which we talked
extensively about restaurants in the area, we decided on El Mercado in
Miraflores, and to say it was good would be an absolute insult Viracocha. (Google it you uncultured heathen.) We had an amazing meal of grill octopus that
was absolutely drowned in butter beforehand and was easily the best I’ve ever
had. Like, almost bacon level. We wandered around Lima for the rest of the
day until going to try and find shredded cow heart tacos, which I swear is a
thing. We were unsuccessful, but I am
not deterred, I have a week left.
Anyway, we’re heading to Cusco tomorrow
and I’ve gotta wake up at 3:45am because sleep is for the weak. I’ll let you know if I see the Emperor or his
New Groove.
Final Note: The updates may not actually be on time as I
will not always have access to wifi so please don’t yell at me.
Fact of the Day: There are over 4,000 varieties of potatoes
grown in Peru.
Shout out to Jenee Rick.
