San Pedro Market

We then made our way to the San Pedro market.  Nikki told us that this is her favourite market in South America, and I can see why.  It is housed in an impressive building designed by Gustav Eiffel and is organised in clearly labelled aisles according to what is sold there.  There is even a 'papas' aisle where all the stalls sell only potatoes!  After all, Peru is where they were first cultivated, and the country has approximately 3000 varieties!  We had a good look around, but we didn't buy anything.  This is where our cooking class starts tomorrow, so I'll wait and ask our chef lots of questions!

From the market, we wandered back to the hostel, just beating the rain.  On the way, we saw our first Christmas parade!Baca lagi
