Happy New Year!

Back in Peru; rededicating myself to maintaining this blog!

We are currently in Lima for a few days and staying at Billy and Kate Greenman's apartment (thank you Billy and Kate!) in Surco, one of the forty-three districts in the province of Lima. According to Wikipedia, only thirty of the districts compose the urban area of Lima, the remaining thirteen are mostly rural and sparsely populated desert and mountainous areas.

Last night we had dinner at their favorite chicken place, Don Tito for pollo a la brasa.  It was definitely a popular restaurant in the neighborhood, and is thought to have been there since the '70s.

Pollo a la brasa is an extremely popular dish in Peru; if you have ever visited the country you have almost definitely had it.  It is a delicious style of rotisserie chicken, usually accompanied by french fries and a salad of lettuce and tomato.  This is one of the most standard dishes to find, and in many restaurants, is actually the only meal they serve.

We are currently getting the rest of the paperwork in place for our work visas and are going back to Yungay on a night bus Saturday night. We are eager to get back to Yungay and see how things are progressing with the Kawaq Yaku Cafe build!!

It was great getting the opportunity to spend the holidays in the U.S. with all of you friends and family.  Love you all and Happy New Year!
