Blog July 4th-5th
For Thursday and Friday, the routine continues... Although we were in love with the food at first (especially Sophie who stated at every meal that it was delicious), we are starting to get slightly fed up. Before we came here, we were used to eating vegetables and a variety of healthy condiments in each of our plates. They say you do not realize the value of what you have until you lose it. Well trust me when I say this is entirely true: WE MISS OUR VEGETABLES SOOOO MUCH. In the Hogar, we constantly eat chicken, rice and potatoes. I mean the chicken soup, the chicken empanadas, the grilled chicken, fried chicken, cooked chicken are tasty. But we are two steps away from starting to fly with our growing chicken wings! And good luck to anyone trying to lose weight, because it is IMPOSSIBLE.
On Friday, we thought we were really lucky! The staff were talking about the famous ceviche (fish marinated in lemon and onions) all week, so we were really excited about it, since it’s a very common Peruvian dish, but when we finally got to eat it we found out it was slightly under-cooked... or considerably under-cooked! We ended our night hanging out with our German roommates on the terrace and Charles, our handyman, finally found a light bulb to put outside so we can finally see what we were eating!
