#3 I was in Peru this summer and needless to say it's an interesting topic when talking with locals, tour guides, hotel/restaurant staff, etc.. It's a beautiful country, severe geography, awful politics, but plenty of potential and a native capacity to muddle through pretty well. Cusco is fascinating, but Lima is a whopping metropolis. They're so close to wiping this out, but if the dems ave their way with Colombia, the Peruvians have real cause to worry. Unlces Hugo and Evo would love to make neighborly trouble. |
