Day 13: Machu Pichu

I ate a guinea pig (cuy) for lunch yesterday!

Before:







After:


Tasted like the darkest dark meat on a chicken. And the skin was rather crispy like some KFC.

But eating it also reminded me of eating crabs in that the ratio of work-to-calories was fairly high.

We were told that in some parts of Peru, kids got a guinea pig as their birthday treat, instead of a birthday cake. Not sure how true that is, though...

Obviously that wasn't the most impressive part of the Machu Picchu experience, but just an easy one to quickly write about. The other parts were just so mind-blowing that a blog post (written on my phone) seems nearly impossible to pull off.
