Where am I supposed to get my extra tall double mocha latte with extra foam????

One of my favorite things about Cusco is the complete and total absence of any Western food chains of any kind. That's right, in a medium-sized city crawling with tourists, there is nary a McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Dunkin' Donuts, or Burger King to be found. It's fantastic. The only other place on earth I've ever been that is this unconnected from the modern, western world is Manning, Iowa. And while Manning does have Cliff's and it's awesome all-you-can eat salad bar, it's not quite the tourist Mecca that is Cusco. (The Hausbarn is cool, but it's no Machu Picchu.) The last stop for these creature comforts of home is the Lima airport. (Although I haven't seen a single Starbucks since I've been in South America. Good thing I don't drink coffee.) I saw a woman walking down the street last week with a bag from Dunkin' Donuts and I knew she had just flown in from Lima. However, the Dunkin' Donuts at the airport does not have bagels. Believe me, I checked while I was stuck there for 8 hours. I have heard a rumor though, about a bagel place that just re-opened in Gringo's Alley. I'm going to have to verify this rumor within the next week.
