Cuzco

I am in Cuzco, a city in Peru.

Wherever I travel, I like getting to know about the local culture. For example, I can tell you that cuzqueños really enjoy paintings, massages, and photos involving traditionally dressed women with llamas. Or maybe they just enjoy offering those things to people like me, because they do it a lot.

One of my favourite things about Peru so far has been ordering food from a Spanish menu and having no idea what I will get. So far it has worked out really well. My guidebook has convinced me to stop doing this once I get to Iquitos, where they serve endangered animals as well as things like worms, fish intestines, and ants.
