The Lost Girls: The newbies in Peru

The lost girls, Jenneifer Baggett, Holly Corbett, and Amanda Pressner, have finally started their journey around the world. They have quit their job and have started on their long trek around the world.  Their first stop Cusco, Peru in South America. They have stopped at a hostel and have decided to explore.

After putting their baggage down they decide to head to a local cafe. While walking there they are overwhelmed by the many street vendors and finally get to the cafe. They say in their book, The Lost Girls, that they have never new that food for twelve soles (or $4) could be so good. They feasted on thick vegetable soup, pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken) with rice and French fries, and frutas tropicales. While eating they also sip from a warm mug of mate de coca,local tea brewed with coca leaves and boiling water. They relax and get in the right mind to have a great time on their year and a half long trip.
