On a less sarcastic note, there is a lot to see here in Lima. Last week, some friends and I went to a book fair down the street. They had a very...interesting portrayal of Afro-Peruvian music. Had a video, but am unable to upload. Maybe next time. Also, The human body exhibit is here until next month. Plus, there are a ton of museums to visit. One museum I´m looking forward to visiting in particular is the Museum of the Nation. It hosts a permanent photo exhibit on the terrorism in Peru from 1980-2000.
Did I mention Peru also has some of the best waves in the world?

Got my first glimpse at some pretty nice olas (waves) yesterday.
In spanish they either say ¨hacer surf¨or ¨correr olas.¨

The wind was coming fairly hard off the water but the waves were still holding a decent shape. I saw the potential for the longest left in the world for sure. Once that wind switches...forget about it. Glad I brought my wetsuit.
And finally, the food! When you think Peru, you probably don´t think cheese, nor should you. Let´s just say a nice block of hard, sharp Parmeasan is pretty hard to come by, among others. However, the Peruvians have got it going on with queso fresco (fresh cheese). It´s basically just cheese curd, similar to a very mild feta cheese. And because it´s so mild you can eat it by the handful (yes, i do). And although it originated in Spain, Peruvians have managed to produce it with quality and incorporate it into their cuisine. A spicy, cold sauce is made from it and drizzled over boiled potatoes, often served with the aforementioned antichucho (marinated and grilled cow heart). Yum!
Until next time...
