THE FOOD FAIR ON THE BEACH AT MIRA FLORES

We went to a great food fair called Mistura, with the Cardons and Adams.  We were not sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised!  Enjoy the colors and textures of Peruvian Food!




The first tent was full of chocolate companies, trying to get you to sample their choices!  Yum!!!
