Baños, PE to Antacolpa, PE
The place we’d found to have breakfast yesterday said they’d be open at 7am today, but they weren’t, so we had to search out a new place. An open door a block away revealed dishes at empty tables, so I guess some people just ate here, right? A couple “Buenos días!”es summoned the husband and…
