Comedor (Calen)
Name:Calen Robertson
Highlights:
1.Wet Roads- This area of Lima was very wet, which is kind of an odd feeling since rain is so rare here. However, the air can be thick with moisture, which given the right conditions will collect on the ground making for messy travels.
2.Kitchen- First we stopped by the kitchen where one person explained to us how members of the Comedor get their food.
3.Supplies- There were large sacks of rice and other supplies stacked against the walls.
4.School Supplies- The school supplies that we all brought with us were dropped off here.
5.Emma´s Camera- Emma, who is doing a documentary while we´re here, let some of us hold the camera to show our perspective.
6.Children of the Comedor- There were a couple of kids there, one of which recited colors for us in English.
7.Food- We were served dinner which consisted of rice, avocado, chicken, and lemon broccoli. It was delicious!
8.Tea- We were given a sweet tea to go with the meal.
9.Conversation- Although it was difficult for me to understand at times, it was pleasant to listen to the conversation of the people of the Comedor.
10.Parting- They were very sweet as we left, instructing us to "return soon" and to "never forget".
Additional Comments: The Comedor was unique to our other day trips in that it had a very personal touch to it. It was nice to not just visit places that represented ancient Peru, but also to visit a place that represents Peru now.
