Purple Octopus

Today we went to a Peruvian/Chilean restaurant that had delicious seafood. We had purple octopus that was amazing. If you would have asked me four years ago if I was ever going to eat octopus I would have said no, more like hell no. But it was delicious!! Suction cups and all. We ate some super yummy cold-water white fish, squid, shrimp, all with delicious citrus sauces and potatoes. All of it was amazing and I think that if you think you don't like seafood (like I thought for a long time) you must come to Chile.
Before almuerzo (lunch) we went to this huge outdoor market with some crazy fruits and vegetables. The carrots here are the size of my forearm, i kid you not, the same size as my forearm. You can buy a kilo of avocados for 2 US dollars.
That's all for now,

p.s. sorry there aren't pictures of the food. next time I will take some with my phone.
