Just ate some Peruvian pizza. It was comparatively expensive, but fairly interesting. It was just barely higher quality than cheap frozen pizza, but it was flavored like barbeque sauce or masala. Generally, the food here is really great. There are a lot of animal parts that are much more commonly used here than in the states, at least from what I´ve been exposed to, which sometimes makes for meals which are a little too interesting. And it would be pretty difficult to be vegetarian here. You´d be pretty much restricted to rice, beans, corn and pototo like foods. In the andes there is a much greater variety of grains and other plants, but on the northern coastal plains where Guadalupe is its predominantly rice and meat. That being said its some of the freshest rice and meat I´ve eaten. The rice is all grown in fields immediately outside of town and I´ve eaten for dinner the chicken that woke me up in the morning.
Peru´s abundance of microclimates means that just about everything is in season somewhere, especially fruits, which they have a huge variety of.

I talked to your dad today and he told me about the blog. It looks great. Thanks for the pictures and the commentary. Despues de esto, para su vida entera, hablaras el Espanol. Fue mi experiencia viviendo en Espana que me dio el amor e interes en culturas estranas que que tengo hasta ahora. Buena suera. Quiza alguna vez hablaremos do tus viajes. Sorry, no accents or tildes. Looking forward to the rest of the journal. -Scott
