Holiday Dichotomy
Good evening! I am sitting in my hostal with the sounds of fireworks sounding in the distance. You see, tomorrow is a holiday here in Peru and the military is celebrating tonight with a huge fireworks display over the Pacific. I went to the window to see if I could get a view and noticed […]
