Zombie Dogs
Hey, how are all of you? It's been a while since I posted here I think. I've missed you all.
Anyway, I recently went on vacation to Lima, Peru. It was all very fun and I got to do some very exciting sightseeing. I swimmed with sea lions, ate Peruvian food and even went south to where the desert starts for some awesome sandboarding and an even more awesome buggie ride through the dunes.
However, this is the part that I think will interest you. One day I went to see a place called "Huaca Pucllana", it's basically a pre-incaic pyramid-like structure. So, once we finish walking around the place (which was pretty neat, actually) I see a dog in the distance. But it wasn't a regular dog, oh boy it wasn't. It looked so odd, so weird, so... sick. I immediately tried to go into another direction, but the guide took us all right up to the dog. It was a zombie dog, I do believe. It had no hair, and it was all filled with wrinkles. Upon closer inspection, it had a freakin mohawk. A blond mohawk. I was instantly traumatized.
Well, it turns out this is an actual breed of dog and not an abomination of nature like I initially thought. It's called peruvian hairless dog . I'm not convinced, though. I mean, tell me that it doesn't look like a zombie dog! And these ones lived in a pyramid? A place where the dead are buried? Sure seems suspicious...
Here's a pic from the ones I encountered. (There were two of them).

I've played Resident Evil. I hate zombie dogs!
That is awesome.
But you have also touched upon another subject close to my heart: Food!
I require details!
Welcome back
But this was in Peru.
About the food, it was all spicy. Not necessarily super hot and spicy, but always a little bit at least.They're big on seafood, (and chicken for some reason) being a port city and all. I didn't have a chance to eat all that I would have liked, but I did try some dishes. I can definetely recomend "tacu tacu". Tacu tacu is served with fish or meat and is basically a sort of tortilla made from rice and beans. You cannot imagine how delicious it is, though.
Also good is "ceviche". This is a dish of fish or some other seafood (shrimps, squids, etc) accompanied by onion, lettuce, sweet potatoes, and some special spicy sauce.I was not too big on this, however, because I find the Ecuadorian version much better (the Ecuadorian is more like a soup).
Oh, and deku, the climate where I live is much much hotter and there are no balding dogs running around scaring the children and the elderly!
But now to discover recipes.... TO THE INTERNET!
The guide told us that this dogs were once in danger of dissapearing (from Peru at least) because people would kill them or other mean things because they thought they had some sort of skin disease. I thought this was a bit funny.
I think that applies to other historical events, but I'm not sure which.
Actually, that makes me wonder. If she First Aid sprayed a dog in its eyes, would it feel better?
It's a good thing fire works on both, though. Fire, for all your monster killing needs.
