where´s the love y´all (currently playing)

yeah, i know, it´s early since my last post and i´m already online again. i´m a little at a loss today. well, i think i solved the problem i had i´m just waiting until i feel like doing anything about it. i came to chincha alta to hear music, and there is no music until the weekend. this means i have to choose between what i hear is a kickass afroperuvian music and dance show, and what i hear is one of the best beaches in south america. this is choice hell. i think i´ve opted for the music, since the beach is way north and i´m more likely to be there again someday than back in central peru. and there are beaches around here - i think i´m going to go to one to pass the time until the weekend. i guess life isn´t as cruel as i´ve been thinking it is. also holding me back is that i washed clothes last night, in a bucket of course, and i´m waiting on them to dry.

i finally found the street food of my dreams. for breakfast i had this plate of chicharron, which is not the crispy chicharron of my pilsen-visiting childhood but more like carnitas. carnitas with extra extra flavor, sweet potatoes, red onions and ahi (peruvian salsa). with a side of fresh bread and fresh orange and papaya juice. sigh. just took a moment to reminiss. (sp?) i´m totally full, and totally ready for seconds.

also holding me back is i´m not sure exactly where to go next. another day, another adventure in collectivo ride-landia.

funny, i was just talking to cullan about chile and he mentioned ahi and said "it's this chilean salsa." meanwhile, i thought it was a type of ecuadorian salsa. and now you say peruvian, so i guess so far we can join our information and know that, so far, it's mid-western south american salsa.
