Surfing Makaha

Miraflores, Lima is famous for its surf break with Hawaiian names. I mustered the courage to don a wet suit, walk a cobblestone littered beach, and surf freezing temperature waters.

Cuy

Roasted guinea pig. Yes, you heard it right…guinea pig! A Peruvian specialty. Some were squeamish, but I dove in and tried it. It tasted like duck, not much meat with a touch skin.

Bienvenidos a Peru

Welcome to Peru! I used to sit in high school Spanish class and often glance at a poster of Machu Pichu. My dream finally came true this summer after I made the long trek to South America. My adventure with Overseas Adventure Travel(OAT) began in the historic, colonial heart of Lima, took me to the ancient cobblestone streets of Cuzco, and the ruin of all ruins, Machu Pichu.

Lettuce Wraps with Miso Dressing, Beet Salad, Mozarella Salad

An invitation to Denise's home is an invitation you do not turn down. Her food is always gorgeous, always delicious, and always good for you!

All American Potato Salad

Definitely not local style (lots of mayonnaise), but perfect for summer BBQs. My world traveler friend commented that it tastes very French. I think it tastes pretty good.

Calamari

The best calamari I've had was in Burano, Italy. Since plane tickets to Europe cost an arm and a leg, these will have to do.Brick Oven Pizza's version was light, crispy, and delicious.

Chess

In my opinion, there are 3 things every person should know how to do: swim, drive a stick, and play chess. I'm just saying.
