Peru part 2

Well tomorrow will be my last day in Peru, it has been a great time. I have really enjoyed spending time with Edu and Esme, they have both been really amazing hosts and looked after me well. I didnt’ want to run about here and there seeing everything in the surrounding areas because I needed a bit of a rest. I was able to see a few things in the centre and visit some missionaries. Yesterday I was able to meet up with Markus and Monika Volker who I was orientation with 4 years ago. They have been here in Arequipa since working with churches and a bible college.

Today I was able to try one of the delicacies of Peru, wait for it, Guinea Pig. It was quite tasty, I was told that it is a delacie to eat the head, but I thought that I would leave that to the Peruvians. As they always say, it tasted like chicken but it didnt smell of it. I can now say that I have eaten Guinea pig. But I dont know what the RSPCA would have to say about that, well thankfully they are not in Peru.

I will be leaving Arequipa at 7:30pm tomorrow evening, I will get into desaguadero which is the border with Bolivia at 4am. We have been told that we are allowed to stay and sleep on the bus until 6am. I hope this is true because I dont really want to be getting out at 4 in the morning. I will have to get all my stamps to leave Peru and enter back into Bolivia and then catch another bus to La Paz where I will be staying with the Family that I stayed with before for one night. Then I will go back to Cochabamba Sunday night and arrive back monday morning at some point. This will be my final week in Bolivia which is really sad but it is going to be manic saying goodbye to everyone.
