Lunahuaná, Peru

We met up with an old friend of mine from high school, Jose Visconti and his girlfriend Samoa who both live in Lima. It was great seeing a familiar face and catching up with Jose who is now a chocolatier! He sources his beans from deep in the Peruvian jungle, and it is very delicious (shout out to Elemento chocolate). We stayed in the popular Peruvian tourist town of Lunahuana. We drank wine by the pool and chatted about life. Next we went north to Jose’s family’s beach house (30 minutes south of Lima). It was inside a gated community and a very different way to see Peru. It was a beautiful community where everyone spends the day on the beach and rides their bikes from happy hour to happy hour. It felt very much like San Diego. We had a wonderful dinner filled with wine, pisco (Peruvian liqueur), guacamole, and ice cream with Jose, Samoa, and his parents.もっと詳しく
