Soup is BOOOOMB! Menus always serve a soup before the main dish, some of which are “caldo de blanco”, “chaque”, or “chupe criolla” depending on the day. Above is “chupe criolla”. Typical street sign in Arequipa, which I walk by everyday on my way to class. 

Learned today that I should stay away from conversations about abortion because 100% of the time, the Catholic society of Peru will fight tooth and nail against my ‘pro-choice’ position. Although I don’t think “A fetus is a life” repeated 10 times in an argument counts as a solid debate.
