Peru Day 11-Chocolate Making and Guinea Pig Eating

As the trip winds to a close our days are less packed and we glad for that. This morning we met up with our group at the very reasonable hour of 10 and walked to the main square to take a chocolate making class.
I can't personally think of one wrong thing with that concept!
We learned all of the steps

And then picked ingredients and made our own individual chocolates.
Then we shopped in their store with a discount.
So yeah, an easy win for us!!!
Tonight was the big night. Monkey really wanted to try Guinea pig and Dave had arranged for us to have a special celebration platter at a local restaurant. We found out later that is number 10 on Trip Advisor!
 He brought the little pig out wearing this creepy hat, but that's all part of the presentation. We snapped some photos and then the owner carved him up for us.
 M was rather offended by the little teeth and claws.
 That said, one bite of that yummy meat and he was over it.
This was our final dinner in Cusco. This time tomorrow night we will be en route home. It's been an amazing trip.

What a great record of the trip! We were really happy to share so much of it with you and your lovely family. Particularly like Harry photobombing your MPicchu shots (can see that he wants to be Canadian...), the alpaca selfies and the gpig with the cute hat! Hope the race goes well G, H, and H xxx
