Birthday Dinner & Ice Cream
I just had to write a bit more((which I could about most everything!) about Bob's birthday dinner & ice cream. While we were eating at a street side table, a local band set up on the street right in front of us. I told Bob that I had hired them for him. He said he'd believe me when they started playing Happy Birthday. After quite a loud & long performance, they went from table to table collecting money & moved on down the street...where we enjoyed the backgrd music and could visit recalling past birthdays & all the cakes that Roger liked (hint: couldn't name one he didn't). Just before we left, the band played up "Feliz Cumpleanos a tu!" Bob had noticed a rare ice cream store on an earlier stroll so we headed to it. The refrigerated cart was so close to the steps leading in that we had to take turns teetering on them and avoiding the large hole in them to order what was really tasty ice cream. After the server finished dishing our order, he started cementing the hole in the steps only to be interrupted by another customer. Somehow that didn't diminish the taste of our ice cream!
Guinea Pigs
Another story...earlier when we were at our hotel in Ollantaytambo, we thought the "little casa" in the court yard was sooo cute. Later, we saw the cook carrying a large knife run out, pull a live guinea pig out from one of the "cute little rooms" and go back into the kitchen. We checked out the menu and sure enough, guinea pig was on it.
