Lacey spent a whole day with Silvio Espinoza. DescriptionOne of the best adventures in Peru. On a whim, I went with Silvio and Joonas (from Finland) to a small shack right on the coast. We took a boat out, not far from shore, and Joonas went diving. He said the bottom was loaded with scallops. He filled a 5 gallon bucket with them and we headed back to the shore to prepare lunch. We all contributed making seasoned rice and Peru's classic BBQ Parmesan Scallops. You can't get any fresher than that. Ive never really liked scallops but WOW, I mean WOW! Thats was amazing. Muy rico!! Up here in the Pacific Northwest we do a similar dish with Oysters but what a treat, Scallops! So I enjoyed one of the best meals I had in Peru on the coast admiring the sea with boats off in the distance, surrounded by the sand cliffs and my hand on a mokawked Peruvian dog. Truly a tasty adventure.Upon our departure we slowly said goodbyes...2 hours later, and who knows how many cigarettes, a local invited Silvio to a Birthday Party. He also said we could come along too. I felt so privileged and gladly accepted. I learned how to drink cervesa Peruvian style and got a taste of Wyno (spelling?) music and had fun dancing myself. I think the whole town was there. Everyone was really friendly. Joonas and I were the only tourists in the place. We are so lucky to have been able to attend. Silvia was so nice and had good energy so when he invited me to stay overnight with him and Joonas I was very thankful. Sincerely, that was a once in a lifetime experience and one of the highlights of my whole trip in Ecuador and Peru. Thanks Silvio. Best bits: fresh scallops, good company, the birthday party, the element of surprise
Worst bits: I'm no diver, didn't get to see the bottom on the Pacific covered with scallops
