Game 3

Ok so I was just going to start a new blog because this whole Bulls thing has gone to hell, but let's just move on entirely.

So it's been a week since we went to Machu Picchu, but hopefully all of the memories come flooding back.  The 3 musketeers came on Thursday, and we set out for the day.  Toby's camera had been lost/stolen, so we made our way to the bus station, via a 1 dollar cam ride to try and find it.  To no avail.  On the way back to the hostel, we made a couple of stops.  We tried some Chicha de quinoa and some Chicha de manzanas (apples).  Chicha is a staple of Peruvian drinking cuisine: a fermented corn drink that comes in many flavors: most commonly Chicha Morada.  It's purple.  On the way back to the hostel we stopped at what would be our first of many mercados (markets).  I bought a beanie that I immediately regret buying, but now that I'm out of Peru I feel much less gaudy wearing it.  It's orange.  It says Cusco on it.  Bought some stuff, stopped by a travel agent to talk about Machu Picchu, bought some train tickets, and ultimately ended up back at the hostel.

Lunch was a stuffed avocado (papa relleno), dinner was happy hour mojitos, steak and rice, and instant coffee that was actually barley.  A coffee substitute.  On to something more exciting....
