Guinea Pig
This is a fried guinea pig I had in Peru. In Spanish, it is called cuy. There is a painting in Peru of Jesus’ last supper where he is eating cuy instead of lamb. I mean, if it’s good enough for Jesus, then it’s got to be good enough for me! It tastes like fried chicken and smells like a pet store.

Chamonix
Chamonix is amazing.
Even in the middle of the “dead season” there are still plenty of great things to see and do.
We started with a ride up the Télépherique de l’Aiguille du Midi (Needle of Noon Cable Car). It rose through the fog and gave us a fantastic view of the valley down below.
We finally reached the l’Aiguilled du Midi where the view was just breath-taking. You could see Mt. Blanc up close and personal. There were these little black birds flying up there too.
We then decided to hike down to the Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice), which is a giant glacier. During the summer, they carve and cave into the glacier and you can go inside. However, it was closed by the time we reached it. After three hours of hiking, we eventually reached the Mer de Glace. A layer of dirt made it look smaller than it actually is, but it was cool nonetheless. However, it still doesn’t compare to El Calafate.
