5/23 Koricancha and ceviche

The lemonade at the restaurant 


Food we got at the restaurant


Koricancha

Then we drove back to Cusco and walked to the Koricancha ruins in the city. Next we stopped at a little seafood restaurant for lunch. There we each got the set-menu which had a plate of ceviche (raw fish with lime juice and spices), chaufa (rice with chunks of egg, pepper, peas, etc., and fried calamari. We also got lemonade. The lemonade tasted really good! Instead of being fake, with 1% real juice it was just made with the Peruvian lemons, which are smaller and have more flavor than the American lemons. Then we walked around the city and tried sugar cane from a booth.

When we were almost home with met up with Sylvia, who was going to play volleyball. She invited me to go with her and we took a cambio  to a nearby park. There we waited for a while then played with Sylvia’s friends and some other people. At about seven we left and walked home. On the way, we stopped and got picarones, donut-like things that are made by frying raw dough. When we got home, I packed for Taray and went to bed.
