Cusco

We traveled on a Peru Hop bus from Lima all the way to Cusco. We finished the route so they gave us T-shirts.  Mine is so big on me because they only have adult sizes but I like how it fits.

In Cusco,  there are a lot of shops selling souvenirs. Everyone wants people to come in their shops.  One lady threw me into her shop so the rest of my family would come in! It was really funny!

Cusco grows cocoa beans. Cocoa beans make chocolate.  We went to a workshop at the Choco Museo and learned how to make chocolate right from the cocoa beans. It was really fun and delicious!  I was able to make my own chocolate. All you have to do is roast some cocoa beans, peel them, crush and grind them,  mix in sugar and powdered milk and cocoa butter. Melt it, then form it,  and put it in the refrigerator. And then eat it! The chocolate is really good!
