Al’s Peru Weekly Blog Questions

Week 4:

• What were the best and worst meals you’ve had so far on the trip? Describe the location, menu, ambiance, fellow diners, etc. The best meal has been Pescado de Mero…bbq fish with rice and hot sauce. They show you the raw filet before it is cooked and it’s about 12” long. Very fresh and tasty!! All of the meals have been very good, to be honest we have only had one medium meal. It was mainly because we were mislead…we ordered tacos and nachos (the first and only place to offer them) and got cheesy wantons and mushy carne. Just mislead a tad.

• What have been your biggest challenges during your time in Peru and how have you overcome them? Our biggest challenge was the miscommunication of physical endurance. For example, we went on a hike to the Gocta Falls. We were told it was a mellow stroll to the water. However, we found out that this was an up hill trek, up hill both ways for three hours. It was rainy and sunny and windy and hot and cold and up hill!!!

• What sweet Peruvian dance moves have you learned? (i.e. the lawn mower, the Macarena, etc.) Please describe and demonstrate these dance moves for us. Note: If you haven’t learned any sweet Peruvian dance moves by this point, you must learn some new moves within the next five to seven days and report your findings in the next blog. We will report new moves in the next week.

• How can we be praying for you? Pray we learn some sweet dance moves! Just Kidding! Just keep us in your prayers for a successful print test (we go to print all the calendars and leaflets and need a translator!) tomorrow.
