Today we are going back to Arequipa before we head to Cusco!!!!!
We left Chivay in the morning and we stopped to take a panoramic picture of the city.
On our way back we saw some llama traffic... So cute!
We spent the whole morning in the bus and once we got to Arequipa some of us decided to go back to the local market to get some fruits and food.
Our local guide had told us about FROG juice and how people drink it for anemia and to improve concentration etc. We decided to go take a look and maybe try such Peruvian "delicacy." We got to the stand and we only saw a sign and I asked the guy about it and if he could show us what it was made from. He grabbed a LIVE FROG and said we blend this!!! Yuk! I wanted to throw up! Disgusting! After seeing that every body backed up and nobody wanted to try it anymore... Yuk! I would rather be anemic and have ADD than drink frog juice!!!
After the market we decided to go for some good food. I picked the restaurant Qaya that had many good reviews. It was a beautiful day so we decided to sit in the courtyard. The service was great and one of our favorite parts was... The bathroom! Haha so nice and clean, the toilet flushed (versus the hundred other bathroom where we just pee on top of somebody else's pee) and they had paper towels to dry our hands... HEAVEN!!! (It's always the little things)
We started our lunch with some pulpo a la parrilla
Then the lomo arrived
And later on a causa with shrimp.
Salad, of course
And some veggie risotto!
The meal was delicious! It makes such a difference to go eat to nice restaurant and have flavorful and awesome food... I love it! The foodie in me was happy!!!
For the rest of the day we spent a quiet afternoon walking around and getting ready for yet another night bus!!!
