Off the cart...

So there's some things you're not supposed to do.. that even some of the locals don't do.. one example is eating off the cart.. on the side of the road.. (some countries it's fine, but in Perú, you're not really supposed to... but we did it today!!

I.. along with a french volunteer/housemate, marion, and irish volunteer/housemate, libby... decided to dare this..

on the way back from the gym we always see this cart with the side street packed with people.. and they even have a table and chair setup (i'm guessing because this particular stand is so good)... so we decided to stop after the gym and eat there... they had fried chicken.. aji de gallina (hen and some sort of cream sauce).. papa rellenos.. papas fritas... rice.. and salad (books advise not to eat salad, but i've been doign that anyway, cuz at this point, if there's anythign in the water that they wash vegetables in, i've already been immune to it, cuz i dont get sick from washing vegetables in the water)... and some desserts......

anyway, so i had some rice, papas fritas, aji de gallina and salad... AND decided to get some rice pudding (with chicha morada sauce on it)... all for S/3 (which is just about $1)....... it was delicious!!!


stay tuned for a post on "bicicleta" aka montezuma's revenge... :)
