Lima's Grime Problem 24 Aug 2013 | 06:30 pm
I don't know what it is about the air in Peru, but things get pretty grimy when they've been hanging out for a while. I don't know if it's pollution, or just the fact that Lima is more or less in a ...

Streets of Surco 18 Aug 2013 | 01:00 pm
Here's just a random image of a street in Surco I took as I was on my way to visit some friends in Miraflores. Perhaps it doesn't look like much, but there's actually a lot here for you to stop and c...
