Mmm…ceviche

I’ve seen so much in and learned so much about Lima already. The food is awesome. Apparently it is the food capital of South America–perfect for me. It’s mainly seafood and hearty side dishes like rice with spices and mixed diced veggies and that kind of thing. I’ve eaten everything from a 4-star meal for $25 to a comfort food lunch from a little street cafe for $2.5. Ceviche is the thing down here: fresh raw fish flashed in lime juice and spices as a quick cure. Even the smallest hole in the wall places will have fresh food, and when they run out of food for the day, it just gets crossed off the menu, which can happen after only an hour. With all this seafood and fresh produce, I may even lose a few pounds.
