Monkey Speak

We spent some $$ on this street!
The band entertained us during dinner
A dinner of Cuy, otherwise known as Guinea Pig
Don't let the pic fool you, Page only tried the Cuy
After they let you take pics of the full Cuy, they cut it up for you
Guinea pig (Cuy in Spanish) has been a delicay in the Andes for over a thousand years. In fact, it is so highly regarded as a food that Cusco painters included cuy at the Last Supper in the large canvas of the event hanging in the Cathedral. We took this pic in the place where we had Cuy.
These “sweet, innocent” girls were total scam artists! But the pic is cute!
More places to spend $$
