Rachel told you all about once we first got to Ayacucho. That night I wanted to take her to an authentic Ayacuchan retaurant so we went to a place called Pizza Italina. It is a small restaurant that serves brick oven pizzas and the oven kept the place nice and warm. Ok so pizza might not be authentic peruvian but it is good pizza and it is something that is safer to eat than some of the other things offered. After dinner we got some ice cream and headed back to the hostal. The high altitude takes a drain on the whole body because our lungs and hearts have to work twice as hard.
Yesterday we woke up and visited with the kids for a while and then went to town for some pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) and visited the artisan market to do some shopping. After we came back we hung out with the kids a little more and then again returned to our hostal after a full day and read some before falling asleep.
Today has been more of the same: sleeping in, playing with the kids, resting a little more, and then we will go back to hang out with the kids a little more before going into town to get some dinner.
It has been a nice to get away from the rapid pace of things in the US to just take a break, relax, and enjoy each moment of every day.
Paz,
Brandon and Rachel
