Peru

Dear Diary,

I am now in Huallanca, Peru. Being here i have learned Perus famous singer Gian Marco. Below is a video of a song he sings. All though, while going through here I saw many women washing there laundry in a cold river. It surprised me that they didn't have a facet to wash there clothes. I asked someone and they told that it was only a privilege to have running facet water. They also told me that most women would walk long distance to just wash there clothes in a dirty river. Later,  I passed by a field with a family working on it. When they saw me passed they stopped working and came up to me and ask for a gift. I declined them and they started to throw rocks at me. According to another person who had passed by, if you didn't have a gift to give to the children then they would throw rocks at you. I found this very strange but kept riding on.

Sincerly,

JOrtega
