Jonathan takes us to a good meal.
Jonathan walked us to a local
place to eat “Adobo” at noon today. One
of his favorite restaurants is within walking distance and serves Adobo only on
Sundays. It is a wonderful pork stew that has wonderful flavor and tastes like
it cooked for hours. We walked there and enjoyed meeting the owner of
“Frejoles”. He is Peruvian but spent some time living in Pitsburgh! It was refreshing to have someone who could
sort of understand our English.
We also
samples some very good lamb served on a bed of creamy white beans that were
surprisingly good. Then we sampled some ceviche. I had read about staying clear
of eating fish in Arequipa as it may not be fresh. When we inquired about it,
the owner’s first words were “This is very good because I only serve the freshest
piscado (fish)”. So we went for it. It is now ten hours later and I am feeling
fine. I think I will leave chance alone and stay away from fish here on out. We
are also steer clear of raw veggies in restaurants. We are careful to clean all
our produce that we bring home from the store. So far, 11 days, 7 people and we
have all remained healthy!
