Kinda too much going on for continuing photo walk of Lima. I gather I am staying in a pretty working class hood and the dogs kept me up all night and i need coffee & I am used to 15 degrees not 75. Still. I am happy
With all the journalists rushing off to Ukraine & poland, I got the Peruvian Supreme Court covered. Boots on the ground! Well. Sandals. And I donât know law and I donât speak Spanish. But otherwise
Politics!
It is really really really good. Not just any chicken soup. Amazing flavors. And only $4 (with coffee)
Really weird. More riot police than tourist downtown. Quitoâs main plaza was always packed & Alive. This is barricaded and sterile
Apparently Lima is under a state of emergency to combat âorganized crime.â Result is there are riot police everywhere. Not sure what is full story.
The woman selling perfume at this bus stop has a tiny puppy with her. And tiny kids who are also selling boxes of perfume
There is a lot going on here
And here
Only video can capture the choreography chaos
My waitress brought me a giant bowl of chancha cause I was wolfing down the street thimble size servings. Greedy Americans
Cancha. Cancha. Cancha. Cancha. Learn phone. Learn.
Coffee in local chicharroneria is nice, sweet neighborhood scenes. But could really do without the drama/tension of watching a toddle & her dog playing in & around, and leaning out from, a 3rd floor open window. The mom doesnât seem to mind.
Ps: Lima reminds me, this is the best chain store coffee by far. Sorry McDonaldâs, not sorry Dunkin.
Lol the frustration of drivers. Ps: in Lima you honk your horn all the time. For anything it seems. Like, when happy, frustrated, or whatever. Just honk
Literally took me (and others) 15 minutes to cross a road. And it wasnât like it was a weird thing to want to do. Lima must be worst pedestrian city I walked yet. And I have walked lots of car intense places.
Lol. Now it makes complete sense. Neighborhood across the street is upscale, comparatively. Rich want their fence, one way or another
Hot days rapidly turn cool at night.
This went on across from my bedroom till well past 2am. And this was a quiet moment. Honestly, I didnât mind, much, Before sleep I went across to check it out. But not my scene
Girls just wanna have fun
Massive teen dance off going down
Hotel California is why neo-Libs won
Much of Americanâs notion of another countries cuisine is kinda like thinking every American eats at Manhattan Michelin restaurant when it is closer to everyone eating at Applebeeâs
