I'm moved into my cute apartment in Jesús María (ten min walk from work) and I have three fun roommates. There is Yessica- '10 Stanford grad doing a Fullbright; Kaylin - '08 Rutgers grad also doing a Fullbright; and Ibis, a fiery Peruvian woman who holds the lease on the apartment. Pictures of them to follow shortly.
For those of you who knew me when I studied abroad in Santiago, Chile (11 years ago!), I became slightly obsessed with the fruit known as Lúcuma. Here in Perú, folks here are really into their postres de Lúcuma. Most common are the ice cream and the cake, but there is also lúcuma flavored syrup with which to top your ice cream and even some more savory options- like chicken topped with a lúcuma sauce. Yum! Below are a couple pics (from the Internet) of my favorite lúcuma items. When my birthday rolls around in a few weeks, I am most definitely having a lúcuma cake.
