A Typical Day After Class

After our four hours of studying Spanish, Ian and I find a local spot for lunch. We order from "le menu," which is the plate of the day, and usually typical Peruvian food. For our first course this day, we had stuffed avocado: palta rellena. I then had a main course of a chop, cold potato and beet salad and rice. There is always rice, even with fries! The bill for both of us is $7. Not bad!

This day we then went back to the school for a field trip to the Coin Museum (pictured) and the Inquisiton Museum. No pictures of that because the manequins and displays were a bit tattered. Madame Tussaud had not been here. Perhaps just as well. The story of the Inquisition was not a happy one, and we came away rejoicing in our current freedom. May it continue! See Ian's blog for more pictures and a wonderful perspective on this city. The city is closed down now for the Easter weekend and we are enjoying the quiet. No workman building condominiums, fewer car alarms and no banging in our building as they add to the 13th floor. Hopefully the dogs won't howl in the night. Ian and I will attend church and go on a bike tour of the coast on Saturday.
