The Last Supper: Guinea Pigs

The English girls left for Buenos Aires, I now wished I had fit that in. Next trip. Anyways yesterday I saw this magnificient gold plated cathedral, interlaced with Inkan images. On the painting of The Last Supper, it was guinea pig that was served to the apostles in the painting. Known as cuoy (because of the sound they make), it is on pretty much every menu in the authentic restaurants and important to Peruvian culture, specifically Cusco. Although the jury is still out on whether it is more important than cocoa leaves. Oh, and the llama.

Another cool church we visited was called Qorikochoa and its importance wasn´t discovered until an earthquake in 1955. It was then that some the gold remains of the church resurfaced. When the Spanish conquistadores had come over, they had a field day with the gold church and the Inkas didn´t see what the big deal was because they were all about cocoa leaves.


Here is a picture of the Spanish-Inkan cathedral in the Cusco plaza at night. This is the hub of where all the action is.

By night, I am hanging out at the highest elevated Irish pub in the world. By day, I am hanging out with a baby goat. This picture is for my sisters, Chelsea and Anna, who I know will appreciate it.
