Hi, it’s Oscar. Yesterday, I went to an Astrid y Gaston restaurant called La Barra. I wanted to go there because my dad told me that there was guinea pig on the menu. It is one of Peru’s prized possession. Nana and I were the only who wanted to eat guinea pig. As we were … More Yo comí cuy!
My parents arrived in Peru on Sunday evening. When they heard that we would be here for the summer, they immediately booked their tickets and planned for all of us to visit Machu Picchu together.

It was a true urban stadium in the middle of the La Victoria district but Oscar had a blast despite the language barrier. I don’t know how … More Baseball in Peru
Yesterday was our first full day in Peru and with it came the expected highs and lows of travel. The highs; being somewhere new, walking and exploring.

Hi! It’s me, Sofia! Today was our first full day in Peru! We got out of our hotel at about ten. We saw amazing things in the streets of Lima. First, we had coffee at a bakery called La Mora. Then, we went to a mall, called Larcomar. Now I love shopping so that was … More Explore!!!
Peru: the trip that started the blog. We are in Lima, Peru. How did we get to South America? By plane, of course: the most obvious and Borscht Belt comedian inspired answer. But really, how did we get to South America? We got to South America by luck, ingenuity, planning and all those other things … More Hello Peru!
