Pisac, Peru!

Day 1

We stayed in Miami for a night before my big trip to Pisac, Peru! The highlight was these old fashions made with brown butter. OMG. So delicious. But my husband isn’t going to Peru. I flew solo the next day. What a singular adventure awaits!

Day 2

I passed through Lima, Peru, enroute to Cusco, and smoothly arrived at 1 a.m. A man with a sign stood outside the terminal with a sign that said one word that warmed my heart: Sharon. Ha! We drove through the colonial streets and arrived at the historic center where I stayed at a hotel called Ninos. The name means children, and the hotel is a run by a charity that helps kids. It was an interesting and historic structure. I was a beat dog and crashed in my room like the dead.

Day 3

I met my friends, and the adventure began with a money exchange, a visit to a lama farm, and a scenic drive through the mountains at around 13,000 feet. We arrived in Pisac (10,000 feet) around five and had a fresh trout dinner. I stumbled into my room like everyone else that had overnight flights. (the others didn’t get in early and go to a hotel) Stay tuned for daily highlights of the rest of the trip next Monday!
