In a year of firsts (yak-butter tea, houseboat in Kashmir, five-day stomach Exorcist reenactment) the trip from Copacabana to Cusco was our first bus journey in which chickens and guinea pigs outnumbered human passengers.
Bags of cuy (guinea pig) are below, bags and crates of pollo above
How anyone could eat something with eyes this big is beyond us, but to each their own, I guess
Most of the animals were in the cargo area, but a few (presumably very special) chickens came on board with us, and clucked quietly when the bus swayed.
All this and much more came on board with us... notice the seething bags...
This wee Peruana seemed delighted by the spectacle
Man, those guinea pigs... Are they pests there? I think that my new threat for the cats will be to send them to Peru where they will be mistaken for guinea pigs and become someone's supper. That'll make them behave!
ReplyDeleteOh, JD - NOTHING will make cats behave!
ReplyDeleteWorth a try,though. I guess.
It's not the eyes of the guinea pigs that get to me - it's their, fur, and most of all their little ears. Awww.
I think Peru is actually where guinea pigs come from. They live in little house herds in the kitchen and when it´s time for a treat, they get popped in the oven. They´re bigger here, too. Though still not as big as your cats, jd.
