Its a three day weekend, today is the dia de los pescadores, I guess because fisherman are really awesome. Its a good thing too because working every day is really really tiring in the long run. There is a parade down the road about 20 minutes away for the holiday.
The project I'm working on now is building a house out of scrap wood in el molino, an area of town where most people relocated after the earthquake. The family there are fun to talk to since they understand that we suck at Spanish, and the woman who lives there, Maria, is a fantastic cook. Most of the dishes here are based around chicken and potatoes, usually accompanied with delicious sauce.
There isn't too much else to say, lots of people have left Pisco and others have shown up recently, theres a pretty high rate of turnover.
Pisco is awesome.

YUM! How nice that you get to experience such delicious native dishes! I'd love to pick up on some of her sauces. Doubt that she posts them on allrecipes.com though :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday and thanks for the update.
que le vaya bien
Maybe you can get some cooking lessons; I look forward to having you recreate a delicious Peruvian meal when you return home. When do you suppose you will get to try guinea pig?
