I don't personally like the cheese--it's got a funk to it--but most Peruvians really like it.
The coolest thing I saw in nature this week was the guinea pigs my host mom owns having a new batch of babies! The little guinea pigs were so cute and they were making the cutest squeaking noises. My host mom and I had to move the cages around so we could fit all the new guinea pigs nicely. My host mom has around 30 guinea pigs and we just welcomed four more.
With such heavy rains this week, everyone was told to be careful while driving and watch out for landslides and rocks falling. An alert was sent out Wednesday so everyone was aware of the roads. In Spanish we call this huaicos, which means landslide.
Cajamarca city is the capital of the region Cajamarca. The city sits in a lower valley compared to all the towns surrounding it in the mountains. To get to the city, you must drive down windy roads next to the mountainside. During the rainy seasons, or when a terrible storm blows through, you have to watch for huaicos.
