Chivay Rocks!

We had one of our best nights at a local families home for dinner in Chivay!

Mother (35), Father, Daughter (14) and son (10) all entertained us while we helped prepare our dinner for the night.

We killed 2 guinea pigs.....slice throat...hold guinea pig upside down while blood drains....... put in boiling water to remove all the fur.....slit it in half and give the guts to the cat that is patiently waiting by your feet...then cut up in small pieces and fry.

We peeled and chopped potatoes and other vegetables for our soup.

We even had to cut up the alpaca meat so it could be fried.

The trout was easy...simply throw in the frying pan.

The family even had us wear their tradional clothes and dance to their music.

All this experience for 15 soles!!

Fantastic!

(Oh...alpaca meat...very chewy. Guinea pig meat.....not sure yet- as there really wasn´t a lot of meat on the bones!)
