Pleased
with Peru |
| July 7, 2001- Chiclayo,
Peru |

 |
On
the surface you could say that Peru is just
another Third World Latin Country. But I find the
subtle differences between Ecuador and her neighbor
to the south fascinating. |
|
| |
| What a difference an
imaginary line in the sand can make. |
| |
Makes
and models of cars for instance. A bunch of old
Dodges rumbling down the roads here, didn't see
a one in Ecuador. The cops here are all sporting
spiffy new SUV's, in Ecuador only battered Japanese
Sedans! |

Just
across the border, construction materials and techniques
vary drastically, even the colors of paint! The roads
here are much better, but the drier climate gets some
of the credit, not just Peru's Dept. of Public Works. |

 |
One
of the cultural differences was a nice surprise.
Big smiles on the street. The girls here are much
more open and friendly toward foreigners. Well,
one foreigner in particular... not exactly a scientific
survey, but a very noticeable improvement for me. |
