The heart of lima, if a heart could laugh mine would be laughing



With a phillipians dashboard airfreshener fish i made it to the corazon of lima, Barranco. No building can be torn down in the colonial town of barranco only restored leaving hundreds of potential buyers in search of long lost owners. The buildings the lights the lovers bridge and music. layers opon layers of houses built upward. my room next to the electric museum was 7 narrow flights upward past an aquarium three dogs two turtles and a parrot named something like crumb or crunchy, something lost in translation. i am home on the pacific ocean.




"Thus to a man of sensitiveness and sufficiently deep insight into the workings of the universe, almost everything, even if it be no more than a by product of some thing else, seems to add its meed of extra pleasure. Such a man will view the grinning jaws of real lions and tigers as admiringly as he would an artist's or sculptor's imitation of them; and the eye of discretion will enable him to see the mature charm that belongs to men and women in old age, as well as the seductive bloom that is youth's. Things of this sort will not appeal to everyone; he alone who has cultivated a real intimacy with Nature and her works will be struck by them."

Marcus Aurelius
