Yesterday we went to Barranco at midnight with all the Germans and Luis (so official language was Spanish). We were surprised there wasn’t that much going on in the various clubs in Barranco, but we still had a lot of fun and were back home at 5.30 a.m.

We didn’t get too much sleep though, because we were invited to join the father of an Austrian guy who does an internship at the Goethe Institute in Lima. We were told we’ll go to the fiesta de papas nativas (festival of native potatoes) and expected some kind of street market. Instead we arrived (after asking many people on our way and passing streets not suitable for normal cars) at a ranch/country club an hour outside of Lima and it turned out that it was some kind of high-society event. We met Marisol Espinoza, the vice president of Peru and Gastón Acurio, the famous Peruvian chef.

The food was incredible, though I didn’t try the meat. There were many different kinds of potatoes with a variety of tasty (and some very spicy) sauces. There even was a potato that looks like a mouth and is called “Beso de la mujer andina” (Kiss of the Andean women) ^^
