10 days

I'll be out of Trujillo for ten days... i'll be in Lima, Cusco and Arequipa. It's a quick trip ^^ I'll share you some pics of these beautiful cities.

Teatro Municipal

Municipal Theatre is the mos important theatre of Trujillo, here, many artistic and cultural groups presents their works. This building is very old was built in january 10th of 1876.

Flowers

Walking to home i enjoy a lot the flowers and trees at the streets. This tree is very common in my neighborhood.

Mamey

Mamey (mammee or mammee apple) is a very delicious fruit beacause its smell is pleasant and appetizing. When unripe, the fruit is hard and heavy but its flesh slightly softens when fully ripe. Beneath the skin, the flesh can have various textures (crispy or juicy, firm or tender).

One mamey costs $0.4 dollar, people like to buy it at the streets and walk eating the fruit.

Old Balconie

Colonial balconies were a characteristic style in Trujillo, they are original, non repeated, and they are less and less. This balconie is over an little casino.

I wish you good St. Valentine ^^

When you left Trujillo and go to east, you will find some houses which offers fresh fruit and sodas... In summer, it's good to find them.

What really annoys me about my city

Sometimes people forget to keep the history of our city, many old colonial houses is being destroy or rebuilt without considering the old shape. Nobody say anything about this. For example in this pic, this old house was an restaurant now it's a barber and the window was destroyed to make a door... an ugly metal door.

Today, city bloggers around the world show the theme "what annoys you most in your city"... it's an oportunity to see one theme in many blogs ^^
