Miam Miam, Ceviche with Pisco sour

Ceviche with a glass of Pisco Sour

Ceviche with Pisco sour, Lima, Peru

My favourite dish in Chile and Peru was ceviche, lemon marinated raw fish dish.  With a glass of Pisco sour (cocktail), it made a perfect meal.

세비체는 남미버전의 생선회다.  칠레와 페루 스타일의 세비체는 신선한 날생선에 레몬, 양파, 약간의 허브로 양념해 생선맛을 느낄 수 있어 토마토 등을 넣은 멕시코식 세비체보다 단백하고 맛있었다.

Cangari : their simple lives to give us many thoughts

 Cangari, Province of Huanta, Peru

Sister Augusta told me that it was her to get a help from Cangari people rather than she helped them. I’ve got to understand, more or less, what she meant.

Their simple lives gave me many thoughts.

Cangari : 5 days in the convent of Korean missionary sisters

평온하고 평화로운 시간
공동체와 나눔의 시간

Time of peace and serenity
Time with the community and time of sharing

From Cusco, I went to Cangari to meet Sister Augusta, an old friend of my parents, also Godmother of my sister, who became a sister and has been living in Peru as a missionary since about 10 years. We didn’t see each other more than 20 years. I was curious to see the life of the Peruvian country people as well as the life of Korean missionaries in Peru.

 That’s why I spent 5 days in Cangari with 3 Korean missionaries (Sister Augusta, sister Marie-Huco and sister Agnes) from Sisters of our lady of perpetual help.

The view of the city of Huanta, Cangari village is situated around the blue circled area.

 

Getting there:

From Cusco to Ayacucho, it seems quite close, but it take 24h by bus because of the high Andean mountains and the bad roads.

So I took a flight from Cusco to Lima, took a night bus from Lima (capital of Peru) to Ayacucho(10h), then take a minibus to Huanta  and took another minibus to Cangari.

Daily life : When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
As sisters do, I participated at the prayer and contemplation 4 times a day. Reading the bible in Spanish wasn’t easy. Neither prayer nor contemplation was something that I practice everyday. Yet little by little, it made me in peace and I could enjoy fully contemplating.
