Sitting here in my New York office is unsettling. You see, only days ago I was back in Peru running the organizations volunteer program. However with all the small problems and complications thrown at me, the program in the log run was a huge success...
The drive was long, slow and for the most part painful. As mentioned in Andrew’s previous blog it took 16 + hours to arrive to our destination of Arequipa. ...
Gorgeous This weekend I was lucky enough to be granted a whopping 16 ½ hour bus ride, each way, for a chance to take a glance at Arequipa, Peru. But it was really Sophie who hit the jackpot as she had the privilege of sitting next to me during the entire expedition!...
Psicosis live I am getting plenty old. Pretty soon, I’m sure I’ll need bloodwork. But there are some things that I never seem to outgrow. And violently thrashing around a pit filled with a horde of sweaty, riotous, tattooed youths is apparently one of those things. I’...
It is hard to pass a newspaper stand and not see Gaston Acurio’s face surrounded with a mop of curly hair on the front cover of a pocket sized recipe book hanging for sale. ...
My charango “Julio, can you show me where the music shops are?” “Oh there’s a strip of about 20 in a row right in downtown Lima.” It was all over from there. With some child-like begging and a few temper tantrums, my plan succeeded as we headed to music central. I don’t...
In researching Peruvian music, I’ve recently become aware of a certain unspoken phenomenon. Within the last ten to fifteen years, the female presence in rock, electronic and punk music has just become overwhelming. ...
Venue Artwork Flooded with graffiti-like artwork, the small music venue “La Casa de Auxilio”, or the House of Help, was the location for our Friday night entertainment this past weekend. It was located above a bar in what seemed to me like a sketchy part of Lima. We...
A zampoña The Zampoña -- I had never even heard of the instrument before Peru, so if you are like I was and hadn’t heard the beautiful sound of a zampoña before, you are in for a treat. In ...
Two weekends ago Sophie and I went to Chimbote to visit Jen, a friend of mine from college who is working there as a missionary...
The plan was simple. Shannon and I would spend our last day of our week in the mountainous region of Ancash hiking to Laguna Churup...
BOOM! Huari, Peru – Virgin of the Rosary Festival. It starts with a party. Family, friends, gringos (well that’s not entirely true, we only saw two more gringos in the entire town), but anyone who can get there shows up. Fo...
Did you hear about the peanut that went to the city of Chimbote? She was a-salted. Get it? And guess who played the role of the peanut in this scenario? Yours truly. Actually, I’m making it out to be worse than it was. ...
Just like any other (and by “other”, I mean “inferior”) destination, Peru is a country which one should not tread upon whilst carrying with them the improper attitude. The pure traveler is one who takes their destination for more than its trinkets, tan-lines and tandem bicycles. Don’t ...
Los Albicelestes will be forced to claim all three points if they want to remain in contention for an automatic World Cup berth… Game time is at 6:00pm EST, Today October 10th, 2009: Watch live video from matrix on Justin.tv Playing For Nothing But Pride Peru find themselves bottom of the South A...
