okay more on trans today on the bus to work someone brought two net bags - one with live ducks and one with live roosters. another day it was two cages full of cuy.... oh the adventures on micros. micros are very bumpy and sometimes ridiculously full today some girl in the aisle was standing so close to my seat that everytime we hit a bump my head bounced off her boobs. ew. i had to take the bus back and forth twice today so i rode it in total four times awesome. four hours on peruvian local transit...thrilling. thats okay i read la historia interminable (the neverending story)

on food:
have tried cuy twice one fried once guisado i dont know what the means but the skin was thick and it was served with peanut sauce. oh cuy is guinea pig!
have tried the following parts of chicken: heart, liver, possibly intestines, and neck, maybe more. the neck is weird too difficult to get the meat.
have not tried the following part of chicken: THE FEET sometimes it is in my soup. ew. but people eat tho really the scaly crap and all!
have tried intestines but not sure from what animal.
have tried other unidentified meat.
did NOT eat the kidneys that fell out of my cuy.
really enjoy the aji - which is a spicy chile sauce very good will try to bting a jar home
did not enjoy my first pisco sour much the second wasnt much better prepared it is made with pisco (peruvian brandy?), egg white, sugar, lume juice nutmeg
have had a shot of pisco. im not a shot girl but it was all right. the sip was worse than the shot.
last night i ate what a local takeout place calls the peruvian hamburger (for approx$1.25 it came with frenchfries and a drink) it is a hamburger with fried egg, fried bananas with lettuce. add some limey mayonesa and aji and its brilliant. so brilliant i am thinking about getting it again tonight and then making it when i get back home. prvided someone else makes the burgers. who wants to BBQ?!?!?! hahaha maybe ill brave making th pisco sour too??? i asked peruvians about this being a peruvian hamburger and they said no. whatever.
still need to go to a good ceviche restaurant
still want to try criollos which i think is the word for cooked bull testicles. might try this in lima maybe.

i think thats it on food now. oof i am pooped. i am going to go eat i think. and then work on postcards hurrah!

maybe tomorrow ill write about i dont know.
