    After working me to the bone giving talks all week, UPA very kindly put me onto a bus and sent me to a town called Huarez - gateway to the Andes. Note the condition of the street - normal for Huaraz and, seemingly, much of Peru. I was being seriously pampered in Miraflores.
    The main street was full of grimy little stalls with people trying to sell anything and everything to make a little money to survive. This DVD seller is showing a bullfighting video, demonstrating the very basic to non-existant level of education and animal welfare awareness of the majority of people here.
    This incredible street artist constructed this beautiful painting in about 5 mins while we all watched. His hands moved like he was on speed. That was his show, and way of trying to make enough to survive. Really amazing...
