Taray – Day 7 Where to find moonshine
Classes today we learned the present tense. This will disrupt my pattern of saying everything in the present as I do now “yo estoy en Bolivia” No tu es en Peru “Si mas yo estoy in Bolivia despues” it is a fun game. Past tense will come in handy.
Walked into the markets this afternoon, first day of rain. There are some beautiful stones here (yes more rocks too bad I can not carry them) Sepentina is a lovely green one mined from machu pichu. Lapis, pearl shell, jasper are popular.
I see many houses with a long stick and a red-colored bag at the end. Some are pointed out and some are leaning against the houses. I was told when flagging, it signifies the person in the house has made fresh chicha, a local liquor or poteen/moonshine. 30 cents for a glass. While I am usually adventerous with local cuisine, I think I may skip that one. The local food speciality is cuy al hurno. That translates to Guinea Pig. You can get big or small and it supposed to be delicious. Alpaca is also on the menus. I tried the ceviche which is raw fish marinated in lime and juices. not bad. Time to go study…

Really great read! The family links you found are amazing. And in case you were not joking about that UFO man being a crackpot, those lines ARE for extraterrestrials. Duh.
