To date we´ve pretty much written about how we´ve found Peru and how we are coping. We thought we´d take a little time to reflect on 10 things we ought to remember and if they don´t make much sense now, at least they provide a conversation starter when we get back.
1. The scary drive from Lima airport to the hotel on our first night.
2. Rubbish burning in the streets.
3. Little boy´s smile in Nazca when Duncan (guy on tour) gave him a few centimos instead of buying an ice-cream from him.
4. Little Fernando and his hug for a just a bit of bread and some Quechan words.
5. The kids in the villages, their sandals and their cold feet...
6. Sitting eating lunch in the tent during the trek while the kids were in the rain.
7. The contrast between rich and poor esp at the Jockey Plaza Shopping Centre in Lima and how materialistic it was.
8. The taxi driver who looked like he had very little but who bought gum from the little girl on the road
9. The water trucks going to the outskirts of Arequipa.
10. Dogs, with fleas, mad ones like in Pisco and some just skinny, everywhere.
