Well anyways! I woke up around 9 o'clock today and headed to the city. Right when I walked outside of the house along the shore... I stumbled upon something that I haven't seen this whole trip. A skatepark!
Circa.
So by the time I took the forth picture, a guy around his thirties approached me and my dad saying something in spanish that I didn't understand. Right when we got in the car my dad told me that the guy was telling him that he built this skatepark for the kids and he also gathered local graffiti artists together. (As you can see) I gotta say I have respect for the guy. But why the hell didn't my dad tell me about what he was saying before I got into the car so I could have at least asked him some questions and give him some kudos?! Oh well. I'm angry, but its whatevers.
Look at this sign. Follow the arrow to Jesus and Maria! Hahaa.
And look who I found again. Envelope man! What's your message?! Can I open it?!
Remind me to buy me one of these for myself when I'm officially RICH. A "Lamborgini" LOL.
Walking around town there's a whole bunch of casinos inside of hotels which is actually pretty nice in the inside. The security wanted to kick my ass for taking pictures and made me delete them in front of him but I'M TOO SLICK!
Asides the fact of how slick I am, I'm also completely clueless with gambling so I ended up at a local lottery stand just scratching my money away.
I won 9 Soles ($3) and lost 20, got myself a bottle of glass-bottled gatorade in the pharmacy and found this...
Does Rite Aid pharmacies use these calculators? Remind me to buy myself one of these also for the shop. It'll remind me to just take a chill pill when marc stresses me out. (Just kidding Marc, I love you)
Okay enough with the random pictures. We're getting to scenery. I came to Lima expected to see some Inca shit and as soon as we got to the center of the capital, everything looks like Rome! (Not that I've been to Rome) The architectural designs are fuckin' amazing. Mostly Spanish influenced because the Spaniards ruled Peru for quite a period of time.
Wanna be Cinderella for the day?
This is the presidential palace. Comparable to the White House but you can call it the Brown House if you may. I think its way nicer than DC.
This is not a counter-terrorism act or nothing but the dudes are just making sure no one bust a JFK to the Japanese Peruvian presidente! (The President is Japanese. Nihonjin!)
This next picture is me feeding flying-rats aka pigeons. I tried to run through them in attempt to get the whole dramatic bird-flying effects for the picture but failed miserably. These fools are way too damn fat to fly so they HOPPED!
Hippity-hop they went and that's the best I could get. Oh yeah and Dianne in SANDALS?! Since when?! No fucking way. Well it was way too hot for anything else. Have mercy on my toes.
Talk about hotness. I had to get myself cone. (Holler at the cones crew. Aw)
This shit ended up being the worst-tasting cone I've ever had in my life. Yuck! It tasted like it was watered down.
Whoa... God must have spent a little more time on you.
"Haaaay girl!"
Play on Playa. I saw "Playa" everywhere and I didn't understand what the hell it was. I figured it meant "Parking".
Whatever happened to using Goblins?
The Magic School Bus in real life.
So now I'm on the freeway...
Uno.
Dos.
Three.
Quatro.
OF it is.
Moving along...
You see these kids? They were following me for a quarter mile trying to get me to buy some Chiclet. One of them grabbed Robert's Inca Cola and the other one was talking about how my digi-cam is "Muy Bonita!" Oh HELL NAW. Hov said I'll kill you lil' nigga. You crasy.
Check out this vest. Money hongraay. Hustler's uniform.
Me and Robert came across a cultural center by accident and decided to check it out. There was an exibition on skateboaring in Peru. There was a whole bunch of images of this guy named Felix Faucher. He was born in Lima but his family decided to move to Montreal. Later on he decided to come back to skate his hometown in Peru and here's some pictures of the dude. Maybe you guys have heard of him? I don't know.
Check him out. www.FelixFaucher.com
Skate worldwide.
Right when I look outside the window of the cultural center, this is what I saw.
I think the emotion of the stencil is striking. Look at their faces. And what's the message? Is there a reason why it is outside of a cultural government building? Think about it.
First and only skater I saw in Lima.
And then a group of Jiggy kids. God loves Jiggy.
Then we walked to an outdoor mall. Self-explanatory.
There's Hooters here by the way! Bomber than ours because it's built right off the cliff.
Her Hooters weren't that amazing but it's okay.
When I was walking around, I saw some girl holding pictures of different nail designs so you know me, I had to check it out. There's all this 3D Japanese shit in the picture so I was convinced! She was advertising on the streets so she walked me underground down to the nail salon. This is what they told me that they could do...
I'm gonna sue them for FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! When I got there she said "they ran out of the material for the 3D." Don't lie to me guuuuuurl. I left with mad disappoinment and so was she.
On the streets I saw this man and a lady walking around together. At first I was like... why the hell does he have a whole bunch of remote controls around his neck? As I got closer, I found out that the guy was BLIND! Oh that nasty ass ho is using him as a remote control holder and selling it to people so that they would feel sorry for him. Nasty ass ho. Did him dirty.
Biggest McDonald's ever. Supposedly it's the cool thing to eat overhere.
Okay too much city stuff for the day. I'm about to go rumble in the jungle for the next two days. Stay posted and I'll be back! Don't forget your address if you want me to send you a postcard too.
Last but not least, email me, send me a message, show a homegirl some love. I'm officially homesick. I'll land in LA next wednesday night so Baby be ready for me. I got that thang for ya. HOLLA!
