Fruit for Smoothie

Our last day in South America came faster than we ever thought it would. Before we knew it, we were having our last smoothie. It was a good one though, with pineapple, mango, maracuya (passion fruit), banana and lucuma powder. Yum!

We took the last of our Peruvian Nuevo Soles and headed to the Metro supermarket, which was just down the street from our digs at Hostel Kokopelli. John picked up corn in a cup, which came out of a super cute corn shaped cart. I wish I’d snapped a pic of it.

We also gabbed some sweet potato fries (turned out to be soggy) and had some leftover rice and lentils.

For a snack, we bought some amaranth and quinoa bars that had a delicious chocolate coating.

It wasn’t a very exciting eating day but it was our last in Lima and South America. Our day didn’t exactly end here. Around 9:00 p.m., we headed to the Jorge Chávez International Airport on the outskirts of Lima, where the eating adventures continued.
