Notes

Currently, I am in Chiclayo, Peru, aka the City of Friendship. The people are really friendly here, but I am not so sure how good they are at making and or maintaining friendships. Yesterday, chupe de mariscos was eaten. That is my favorite coastal dish in Peru. Today, sudado de mero was eaten. Tonight, a bus to cajamarca will be taken.

Here is a list of some of the things I have learned in the last couple of months...
