Food Viewings and Our first strange food for Dinner

Tonight we went to a restaurant recommended by our friends Ernesto & Priscilla - the Inka Grill.  It was great.  We started out with Beth having a Pisco Sour and Chris had a Cusqueno beer (glad the altitude issue is gone so we can drink!).  For Beth's main course, she had a Lamb dish that was a leg of lamb with a tomato type sauce served with mashed potatoes and a nice little salad made of arugula and julienned tomatoes in an oil and vinegar dressing.  Chris stepped out and ordered ALPACA medallions.  It really didn't taste much different than beef - maybe a little gamier.  That plate came with a timbale of quinoa slices with mushroom ragout and greens in the middle and argula on top.  We finished it off with decaf coffee and a nice walk back to our hotel.  We went by the market today also, but wasn't too hungry after we saw our friend pictured here.
YUMMY!!!
By the way, the hotel we are at is the Orquidea Real Hostal Cusco    It is in a great location.
Off to bed because tomorrow is Machu Picchu!!
