Un Llarg Viatge d'Orient a Occident- Laura en América

Red lights, [Un acordeón en Palermo], Todo puede pasar, aún. Todo es posible. Todo pasa mas queriendo que sin querer. Estaciones con mendigos y guitarristas. Suena un Waltz en La Paz y el caribe en Rio, cántico de negros, alma blanca e impura. Cierro los ojos y me pierdo en América, a pesar de todo, de ti, de él y de todos nosotros, a pesar de la historia y de los hombres. The spirit from the north, the cherry-red spirit travelling through paradise.

Peruvians

Peruvians... I haven't met such genuine, truthful and open human beings, ever... even when they called me señorita every two sentences, which reminds me of the awful Peruvian "Jerry Springer show" with it's host called Laura. I reckon that is the only thing Peruvians dislike about me... besides that, all Peruvians showed me charm, truthfulness and history in each and every action.

Cusco was a dream... a scene from a film we never get to see. Surreal and yet historic. Cusco bursts with history, it smells like history, it tastes like history. You see a re-incarnation of an Inca in every cusqueño walking around, at a plaza or symply carrying their baby, groceries and their memory on their backs.
