Friday was the beginning of our weekend trip to Ica. We had to get up really early to catch the bus and get there without hitting too much traffic. The trip from Lima to Ica is about 6 hours. The trip wasn't too bad and along the way we were able to make a stop a an amazing little restaurant where they actually made Pisco themselves. We were able to tour the refinery and see how it was made and then after we got to to taste some of the types the restaurant had to offer. My favorite pisco was the Pisco de Crema which tasted like a chocolate dessert. Then for I was able to try and authentic Creole dish called Carapulcra. It was a pork and pasta dish with sopa seca which is a spicy but delicious bean and pork mix. It was so good I forgot to take a picture before eating it.
After lunch we got back on the bus for a few hours until finally arriving in Ica. After moving into our hotel me and a few friends got dinner at Plaza 125 based on the recommendation of our Professor, Monica. She did not disappoint. The food was delicious as usual which seems to be a trend in Peru. I got a sandwich mixto which is basically a ham and cheese sandwich with avocado. Then finally after a long night we got the chance to go to Karaoke with the entire group. We got a private room and it was so much fun dancing with my professor and friends I was unsure about the karaoke at first but I have no regrets what so ever now.
