One of my favorite #murals in #Barranco, #Peru. Local artists use buildings, walls and fences as their canvases.

The #BridgeofSighs, #PuentedelosSuspiros, in #Barranco, #Peru - Local #folklore says, the first time you cross the bridge, you make a wish and hold your breath while you cross. If you make it all the way across, your wish will come true.

We went to lunch in #SanBlas to a restaurant that specialized in Guinea Pig. None of us could do it. "Adventurous Eating" is not my thing.
