More Random Peru Info

Here's some more info:

- We cannot drink the tap water in Peru - only bottled. We have even been told to brush our teeth with bottled water! I keep forgetting and end up rinsing my tooth brush in the sink. So far no problemas.

-Milk is not refrigerated in Peru grocery stores (good thing we don’t drink the stuff). Neither is yogurt. We did buy some of that drinkable yogurt, thinking that and bananas could be our bus trip breakfast. Well, of course we did not eat anything on the bus, so our unopened yogurt is still sitting here. Frankly, I’m a little worried about drinking it.

- Dogs are everywhere, especially in Villa El Salvador and the more rural towns. Rachel has counted 348 as of the Puno nightmare bus ride. (End of trip update - 517 dogs)

- Peruvians in the Andes really eat Guinea Pigs - "Cuy". During one of the bus tour stops, there was a mock up of a traditional Andean kitchen and there were a bunch of the cute little guys running all around!
