Hi Irupe, I had Pisco Sour sitting in a restaurant in the Largo Mar. Very, very good. I also had Chili Reheno (sic) in Arequipa, so I think I have tried everything you suggested.

I am so happy you have enjoyed the romantic Barranco, and the ‘comida criolla’ : anticucho and chicha morada. Dont forget about the Pisco Sour!Have a very nice trip to Cuzco and Machu Picchu!
Take care,

I was in Peru last May and June. I’m not sure where you’re going next, but enjoy all the high quality food you can in Lima. We went to Nasca and then into the Highlands via a 12-hour train. Then to Cusco and Machu Picchu. Then to Puno and Lake Titicaca. By the time we got to Lake Titicaca, LOVED PERU, but in the smaller towns the menus are heavily starch-based. Especially in the highlands and Lake Titicaca. I had some wonderful Italian-Peruvian food in Lima. Apparently, they do great Chifa (Peruvian version of Chinese food), too. My dh and I had some at a little place in Nasca. His was great, mine was bland. Our little Nasca hotel had a great menu, but because it was one of the first places we visited, we didn’t realize, unless you’re eating only in high-end places (and even then!) how the food would change. I had beef in the restaurant of a 5-star hotel in the Sacred Valley, and it tasted like it had been boiled. Very bland.

Eat, eat, EAT in Lima.

Oh, and check out the cherry Globo-pops. They saved us when we could not stand to eat more rice or the thousands of varieties or potatoes available.

Cindy

The images of the city, the fog and the sun setting were beautiful and I loved that you found cats. VBG
Good idea about the hiking boots and I hope that you heal quickly. Safe and happy travels.

You’re telling me! I’ve already had to drain them once. I’m wearing my hiking boots until they go down.

Happy travels – and blisters on calluses??? What’s with that?

I did the only thing I could think of. I lanced the ones on my heals and things seem to be fine so far. Way better than oor Patria and the llama.

Yikes! No fun. And I snorted coffee through my nose when I read “She has to wear a llama forever.” What an hysterical mistranslation. LOL.

And the cats! How wonderful they are cared for. Very much like the cat population in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome and at the Coliseum.

Safe travels my friend! And no llamas to sit on your head!

Thanks for this glimpse into Peru and here’s hoping for quick healing blisters!
