I lived in Arequipa, Peru from September 2011 to November 2012. I taught English, practiced Muay Thai, and got really into learning Peruvian slang. I also visited Lima, Cuzco, Colca Canyon, and Playa Mollendo.
Above ingredients for guacamole came in at a whopping $2.50 (don’t stress, the lime is in the fridge). Today is a remarkable day, as we all know, because it is of course, The Super Bowl. Who am I supporting? Listen I’m just here for the chips & dip, beer, and commercials (although they probably won’t be as funny in spanish). I wonder if the spanish commentators will scream GOOOOOOOOL for a touchdown..
