Since we had wheels we were able to drive to the coast and find a seafood restaurant. Traffic there was pretty congested, but we soon found parking and walked around checking menus at several restaurants. One looked very nice, and a bit pricy, of course. We went in and had the royal treatment. Opened with Pisco Sours, then a really great bottle of Chardonnay to go with clam chowder (for K) and endive salad (for S). For main courses K had a local fish in an almond crust, and S had a different local fish smothered in mushrooms and cream sauce. For dessert, K went with Bailey's creme brulee with espresso and S chose an apple meringue tart. All delicious! Drove back to the apartment - sure better than walking a couple of miles...
I learned to love pisco sours in Lima, Peru. Our travel agent arranged an afternoon at a politician's home and we were serenaded, fed and served numerous sours. Haven't been able to duplicate them here at home. Must try again since I hve two different bottles of pisco.
