Peruvian midnight

So after the whole day of sitting in the balcony with my dearest computer, my half-brother arrived. His name's Robert. I bet most of ya'll didn't even know I had siblings. Well anyways, so after he arrived we had some bomb ass healthy dinner. It's turkey and some veggies. People eat so healthy and no one seems to ask for second plates, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. Haha fatass. By the way, I haven't seen one overweight person here. NOT ONE. And I'm not over exaggerating. We'll see about tomorrow though.

Me and Robert got so bored at the crib that we were about to blow our brains out, so we decided to roam the city.

My eyes are wandering like a radar as soon as we got in the car. Then TADAAAAAA... i saw this.


An envelope on the wall. This guy is now about to be researched by me. If you don't know why the hell I'm so amazed by an envelope painted on the wall then read the previous blog hun. Lets see how many I'm gonna be able to spot throughout the trip.

So anyways, last post I talked about the four-sided rotating billboard. Now look what I found...


A ROTATING VIRGIN MARY! She's definitely a big deal in South American culture but DANG! I didn't think it was that serious.

Moving along now. We stopped at this pizza alley place where every single restaurant inside is a pizzeria. How the hell do you make business if everyone surrounding you sells the same thing? I shall ask my professor that when I get back. As I walk through the alley there's people in front of restaurants trying to persuade you to eat at their place. Too many aggressive people up in my face. Didn't like it.


"Ay Chico!"



The next thing that amazes me about Peru is that PDA IS A BIG DEAL. Big deal in a good way. I remember I landed on Valentine's day and all I see on the streets were couples smooching everywhere. There's so many parks and so many benches at parks that sometimes I think the government uses Love as a propaganda. How cool is that?! If you don't believe me... Check this shit out.


A humungo making-out statue in the middle of the park right along the shore. HAHAHA. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw it because there were couples just imitating that shit everywhere. People seem to be very affectionate around here and they're really open about it.


My dad said that it's called The Lovers' Park. See, people spend time with their boos here and I guess when things don't work out, their family don't want them to be together, they turn to the left...

And off this bridge they go! Together forever is the slogan.


Crazy. I don't think pictures could describe how tall that dive would be and how rocky the floor on the bottom is. There is NO MAN walking this earth surface that could make me hop off that thing. N-O W-AY.

I'm not gonna bore you with too many scenery picture so NEXT! We arrived at this restaurant right off the cliff on the shore and the first thing I spotted was a water well and wooden structures covered in writing with white-out. Mostly poems and Amor Amor shit. I told you people are affectionate.


I haddddd to get a piece of that ass. So monkeying I go. Cooks was here B! Let it be known.


Oh and someone carved Santa Clause, Jesus, The Devil, a dog, Chicago Bulls' logo, Julius Ceasar, and some other random faces on this tree.


Oh yeah, love me some Inca Kola. This shit beats Coke in Peru by miles. If you've gone to Mario's on Melrose, you'll know the deal.


By the way, even though it's night time, this shit is humid and hot as hell like summer nights in Miami. T-shirts all the way! Today some high fashion ho was hatin' on chicks wearing tee's. Well you'll die in anything else around here ho! I don't do too many logo shit but thanks Nick and Diz for the shirts because this shit is becoming ultra-handy out here.

On a final note before I go to bed. When I say the government supports PDA (Public Display of Affection), I mean it! There's more statues making out. I only caught one flick.



I'm jealous. Goodnight!
