Here's my comment, dear :)
Can you really buy cow hearts from street vendors? Do you cook there? What do you eat?

Hallo.
I'm sorry to hear that the German girls are not nice. You told the literacy rate for 1895, but I'm curious to know what it is at now? Do you know? It sounds like the country has made vast strides. There are many people who care about you David! So you shouldn't say things like that. You're entry is as witty and entertaining as always. Jen

My favorite experience so far, I'd like to say going llama riding, or taking part in some andean traditional ceremony...but the truth is the best part was going to the mall in Lima with another girl in the exchange program. Becuase they don't let you ride the llamas, and the indigenous have way less interest in thier ceremonies than I do. And the thing is, after all the miles, the vaccinations, and the official papers: its the same. What can I say? the world is flat. And if you saw the facebook pictures from our day at the mall, you would agree we had bunches of fun.

Yes! Anticuchos, Quechua for Cut Stew Meat, are generally skewers of Cow hearts, theres a wikipedia page if you're interested. Not recommended in Lima but delcious in Cusco! Peruvian food is kind of really out there, cow's stomach, guinea pig, dehydrated sting rays . Theres a lot of earthy flavors utilized (foods taste like dirt sometimes) Peruvian food is relatively bland, not many dishes are spicy or cilantrolicious. I mainly go for the chicken, rice, sandwiches, cows stomach i actually find delicous. I have yet to learn how to cook :( Theres a wikipedia page under "peruvian cuisine" that gives a pretty complete list of everything. I plan to be a lot more adventurous in the next weeks and months.
