HOME FOOD IN ICA

The owner of the residence where we slept in Ica was very friendly and cooked for us some typical Peruvian food. Later we found out we were lucky to choose this place as some of the owners of the hotels in the centre were refusing to knock down and rebuild their hotels which were now dangerously unstable. Interesting to hear her and her husband talk of the experience. They are so used to earthquakes and tremours here that he only decided to get up and get somewhere safe after more than 30 seconds when he realised that this one was no joke. She and her friend just remained sitting on the couch through it all - "If I´m going to die, I may as well die comfortably", she said.
