Yesterday I went to Museum of Coca. It was very interesting. I had a Spanish speaking guide who explained to me what is the use of coca leaves now and what it was before (for example medicine). The guide introduced me to the drug traffcking history and how the leaves are transformed into cocaine. I saw pictures of celebrities who got into trouble for taking cocaine. You can also buy natural products made of the coca leaves. Small but a great museum.
Today Jhoel took me to La Feria for lunch, it is a market where you can buy everything and eat everything (look at the poor guinea pigs in the picture!! - it is Peruvian delicacy).
