As I promised in my last entry, I will dedicate this entry to eating in Peru. In general, we were positively surprised from the food - there is a great variety, and the food is generally tasty and well seasoned. The king of the kitchen and the most common is the chicken. There are so many restaurants dedicated of roasted chicken 'pollo ala brasa'. The queen of the local kitchen is the potato - and there are tens types of potatoes in the market - red, white, small, big and many more kinds that I cannot describe. Therefore, chips or french fries is the most common side dish ('patatas fritas'). But, this kind of food is nothing special, the more interesting typical food includes Guinea Pig called 'Cuy' - yes, these are the little cute creatures ... read more

Hi, it is Nitzan again (that did not write a long long time) In Cusco after we did the Machu-Pichu my dad, Omer my brother, and me did Rafting the whole day, it was super fun. The first time Omer and I did Rafting in our life. Now, I am not sure what is funner the boogie and sand boarding or the rafting. After the Rafting there was lunch, showers, and sauna. The sauna was really warm but I was freezing from the water so we took off our wet suits and entered to the sauna with swimming-suit and we were fine. Now I will write about the trip to 'Manu' that we did 3 weeks ago! Manu is a jungle national park. It took us a very long time to reach it - about 10 ... read more

My mother already told you about the places we visited after Huaraz, but I want to add some things.In the Boogie I felt wierd because we all laughed,and screamed,and the driver was like normal and driving likeon a normal road.But the last 2 jumps and turns were really strong and bumpys,Shachar cried a little bit because they were so strong and he got hurt, but for me they were fun!

What can I tell you about our happenings, since my previous entry, that was made even before we have taken the flight to start our journey - so many things have happened. Well, Since Nitzan wrote you a little about our flights to Lima, and about our stay in Lima, I will jump directly to our last week, spent in Huaraz, situated 8 hours north of Lima. Well, first, I am happy that I can write you, that means I came back from the “Santa Cruz" trek. Though I am back, I cannot say I am in one piece, because I have just learned about the existence of muscles I was not aware I have in my body - and now that they are aching and contracted, I have come to know them. Nitzan is writing ... read more

Today, it is my turn (Nitzan) to write. It all started on September 7th, 2009: At 4:30 p.m we showerd, dressed up, got in the car, drove to the airport and got on the plane. The flight was 14 hours. In the flight there were good movies one of them was "night in the Museum 2" each seat had its own TV and own remote (that was also a phone and a PSP). I read a book. I didn't realy sleep a lot. When we landed I felt in my belly butterflies. we flew from Tel-Aviv to Sao Paulo, and from Sao Paulo to Lima, Peru. Before we flew to Lima we had a 2 hours connection. The second flight was 5 hours. In the flight there was a movie of Hanna Montana, it was a ... read more
