Paginas amarillas peru - The Central Railroad of Peru (A Poem with Commentary on Engineering Poetry)

April 13th, 2008, Posted in Lima Peru
Tip! Of course, if you don’t fancy trusting to reeds, then a trip to Taquile and Amantani - two of the ‘real’ islands further out in the lake is perhaps a better idea! Both islands are absolutely beautiful and have a rich heritage of both Inca and pre-Inca ruins, and both have a famous tradition of handwoven textiles. For the more adventurous, it is also possible to stay overnight on either of these islands with a local family and sample some real Andean hospitality as part of your holiday in Peru.

The Central Railroad of Peru

A Brief (Himno nacional del peru) Overview Of The Historical Wanka - From The Mantaro Valley Of Peru

April 6th, 2008, Posted in Lima Peru
Tip! Many are now worried that as president, Humala would fall into step with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and march Peru down a path that takes the country far from Washington’s sphere of influence, toward insecurity and economic ruin. But Humala must win the presidency first.

The Wanka culture is rich in the Mantaro Valley of Peru, and perhaps we could start any corner in the Valley and present a good history, and come out with the Kingdom of Wanka at the end, and provide a good history at that. So let’s start right from the beginning, 10,000 BC, known as the Litico Period. Here we find Archeological sites called Callavallauri, and here we find nomads and hunters for the most part.

The Papaya Man (of Lima, Peru) (Noticias del peru)

February 25th, 2008, Posted in Lima Peru
Tip! All in all, Lima is too easily dismissed when considering where to spend time during your Peru holidays. It has something for everyone and there are some great sights in the surrounding areas as well.

The Papaya Man, He carts his fruits and vegetables around with an antique motorcycle-drawn-cart: papayas, grapes, oranges, this and that, so forth and on. He broadcasts his coming from house to house by way of a loudspeaker: up and down and around my casa [my house], in San Juan Miraflores (Lima, Peru): he looks up at me, as I’m looking down at him, from my second story window, he stopsgot my attention, he is better than a security guard, knows what is happening around him.

The Bread Man of Miraflores [In Lima, Peru]

I’m learning the sound of the bread man’s horn when he squeezes it with his right hand, it sounds like a sick mule; small it is, and weak in sound, but it has its tongue, like a lizard it reaches the ear nonetheless. More kid than man I should say he is.

[May 14, 2006] Warmness folded down upon Lima, Peru two months later, bringing May and the new election for a president, fluttering along Miraflores Park. It brought, also, a sense of strain to the city, and unsuppressed excitement. Every morning there were international news on this election; dozens of protesters proclaiming their concerns on the television, on the streets, on the radio, and many with their own specific willingness to bear their souls. Layers and layers of folks proclaiming this and that for their candidates throughout every village and town in Peru, they had a tremendous undaunted selection of candidates for president, but ended up now with two: one being a robber they proclaimed, the other a killer also proclaimed by the good citizens of Peru: and both worthy of such reputations I heard [the Killer being in a pre-trial status]. The peasantry loved the killer and the business folk loved the robber: so history shall record. Each candidate offering as much as possible, or believable, to everyone: young ladies, family, acquaintances, college boys from Lima to Huancayo, the old, peasants, rich: everyone.

Education in peru - Four Poems: Two for the Devil, Two for Peru

February 1st, 2008, Posted in Lima Peru
Tip! In the centre of Lima (or ‘Old Lima’ as it is often known) you can find some of the best colonial and neo-colonial architecture Peru has to offer. Hundreds of stunning colonial buildings line streets bustling with every type of person and business.

Here is some witty poetry (not sure if that is the proper word: witty, but it will do): one poem on the Aztec year 2012, a year that has been in the public’s eye quite a lot; one on cloning, and the biblical end time events–which, if I may add seems ripe for the monster events that are said to take place; and two poems dealing with some tradtions of Peru; one imparticular, on vacationing, where not to go; all the makings for some thought.
