Pizza in Peru

6/8/09
Gran Bolivar Hotel, Lima

The second half of training today was long but we got out about an hour early and went and chilled in the hotel lobby/bar. A large group of us then went to dinner at an interesting pizza place. The pizza was very different but still very greasy. It kind of looked and tasted like the crust was lightly fried or something and the sauce was different in an unidentifiable way. We walked around a little bit because we had a large group and were in kind of a nice place. We then made a grocery store stop for beverages and I got ice cream which made my day! I will definitely miss good regular food up in the remote Andes village of Paucartambo but I am excited to go as well. Lima is very chaotic and dirty like any big city so by the end of the week I think I will be excited for some peace in the mountains. I just got back to the hotel but my roommates were with the other group that went to dinner and we couldn't get in contact with them so they are still out. Another girl just came and she is going to Pasco as well.
