... bref, ns partons ensuite pour un petit village situe a environ 3/4 h de combi appele quinoa et ns tombons sur un gros marche et un efte patronale avec fanfare (je tai cherche papounet ms il y avait surtout des cuivres, et sylvain aussi, ms cetait pas le genre batuc non plus), puis corrida ou la vachette sest fait la malle, et ns ns baladons ensuite aux alentours pour ns diriger ensuite vers lobelisque qui symbolise le ...

Yo, well here I am in the v. pleasant Andean town of Ayacucho, pop 150thousand and elevation a bit less than Huancayo at 2800m. Pleasant is the best way to describe this small city, lacking the chaos of Lima or the sprawl of Huancayo. Its got the most wonderful central plaza from where Ive just had a smoothie and a cuppa while watching the world go by.Its a warm 22 degrees celcsus during the day and a cool 12 or so in the evening. Its compact ...

... are now lighted and it gave the colorful colonial structures a different hue. The buildings, with it´s wooden balconies, looked even more spectacular as the street lights lent their amber color throughout the street. Plaza Mayor looked so different at night as well. We wanted to stay longer but it was already dark and we knew better not to stay in downtown Lima at dark - plus we wanted an excuse to be able to have a quick peek of Miraflores, a more ritzy ...

Et voilà, je n'ai pas vu le temps filer, et j'en suis déjà à ma dernière semaine de voyage. Mais, mais...Déjà?! Déjà presque le temps de dire au revoir à ce pays enchanteur, à sempiternelle cumbia (la musique populaire), aux enfants de la Casa si attachants, aux multiples découvertes quotidiennes, aux autres bénévoles avec qui le quotidien a été partagé de si bon coeur, aux délices culinaires que ...

Eh oui! La partie "tourisme" de mon voyage est maintenant achevée, je vais passer le prochain mois a Ayacucho afin d'aider dans un orphelinat, la Casa Hogar Los Gorriones.<br><br>Ayacucho est une ville tres jolie située dans les haut plateaux andins, a mi-chemin entre Lima et Cusco. Malgrée sa belle architecture et la proximité de site archéologiques, elle est ignorée des touristes (et c'est tant mieux pour moi!). C'est peut-etre a cause de sa difficulté d'acces ou bien ...

... right on the sea. It actually has a complex called the Larcomar built into the cliff face, where there are restaurants, shops, and even a cinema. At night this area was quite lively and a good place to just walk around and soak in.<br><br>On the Friday, we went into the centre of Lima. We had a look around the main square Plaza Mayor/ Plaza De Armas first. There we got talking to a guy who was from north Peru, we spent 20 minutes chatting. He recommended taking a ...

... through the residential district of Pueblo Libre, past a gigantic Metro Hypermarket to the City Hall and the well tended plaza. Opposite City Hall is the museum. On checking the price, S/. 11.00 (US$ 3.00), we decide to come back to visit on my return from Trujillo . Much to Telmo's dismay, the taxi ride back is a whopping S/. 6.00 (US$ 1.70). Aida has ...

... a job in Greentree that he'll be departing for shortly. then, i say "Really?" and he gets ******, he snaps, and he says Yes! Really! i don;t lie, I'm rich, i know the manager and he said i could go when i wanted, cause i'm rich. You can come work with me, ONLY he's yelling this the whole time right, well all the people around me in the Cafe fled for their lives, and i was there alone with our buddy Albert ...

... if we ever get to talk to the office people) is to book a bus to Paracas tomorrow morning and see the Islas Balletas - what they call the Poor Man´s Galapagos - and then on Monday we hope to take a flight to Cuzco where we´ll see Macchu Picchu and, hopefully, get some jungle time. The heat and constant noise is making us tired but we´re hopeful that we´ll spend the evening numbing our senses at the local pub. Haha. xox K &amp; T

... for foreign husbands. I don&#8217;t think they plan on living in Ayacucho. This was the beginning of the Sendero Luminoso.<br><br>When in doubt, space out, so I paced my room eating coca leaves for three days, waiting for my onward connection to Cuzco, like nothing so much as a caged polar bear, so close to water, so far from the ice. Revelations like these are relatively cheap, but still we play to keep.
