more windows

Colonial windows of Trujillo are more than a characteristic of the city, they are the story of families and the people who worked with steel...

Welcome to the world...

This is "José Joaquín", son of two dear friends. He was born today very early... good luck in your entire life my dear boy.

Plazuela Iquitos

Plazuela Iquitos was known like the place to exchange money (dollars to soles), Mercury "see" all the things is happening around. This corner is crowded at the mornings because is in downtown and nearly to the main banks of the city.

A Reflect... of me ;)

... just kidding today. Sometimes, I'm very busy and I can't post everyday :S , but I promess show them more interesting views of my dear Trujillo and answer your comments.

Kindergarden Day

I didn't now it exists a special day for the education on kindergarden, maybe it's a way to think of the importance of the education of the children very early, my country has a lot of problems with education, in of them is the analphabetism.

Happy day for the kids!!!... these pics were taken in Magdalena de Cao, a little town near to Trujillo (1.30 hours), when kids left the school for a minutes to celebrate this day in the streets.

More Lamps

Sometimes, some lamps don't have a classic view...

Santa Clara

Santa Clara Church belogs to the convent with the same name, it was built on 1548. Many nuns live there, but it is not easy to see them, only during the mass. This church possesses a beautiful pulpit with figures in high relief, and an ostentatious and golden main altar... I think I have to take more pictures inside of many places :S

Colonial Window

Another window of the historical center, i don't know how many colonial windows are in the city but I know the windows os one house are different to another houses, one of the reasons is this windows were a sign of the owners, or the family who lived there.

Yesterday, the owner of "Casa Ganoza Chopitea" (post: 05/18) invited me to visit this house, i'm happy for that, so you can see inside this beautiful house very soon :)

Skull ...

When I walk on the beach I see interesting things but if I see a skull of a sealion it's sad... I don't know why... :S

beetle

Here, you can see "beetles" everywhere even on a house...

Casa Ganoza Chopitea

This old colonial house is one of my favorites, it was known as "house of lions door", I guess for two little lions on the house, but it has details of their original paint from XIX century... Now it's an office of the Local Gobernment

Hotel Americano

An old hotel, it has an interesting view, a few of people come to here, I'd like to see how isv it inside... it looks nice.

Let's go

Last days, I've gone to the country side of Trujillo a lot of times, it's very nice because it's an oportunity to leave out of the office and see people with other life philosophy. To go to the north east to Trujillo, you have to ride old mini buses (called Combis). This time, I liked a lot tle blue inside the car, and you can see a lot of tires for take with us for a long trip :)

Happy Day Mom

true colors

These days were cold but it's nice when you walk and find some flowers with amazing colors ...

Just lamps

This kind of streetlamp you can find at Trujillo's downtown, it's very characteristic. In some cases, these have been replaced for new moldels of lamps.

I want to fly too...

Las Delicias Beach...

Peruvian Stepping Horse

Some months ago I posted a Chalan with his Peruvian Stepping Horse or "Caballo de paso"... last weekend I saw two of this kind of horses but in different places: one at the beach and the another one at the country side. The Caballo de Paso is very important for people of the peruvian coast and it's very special for peruvian north.

Cleaning a hope...

When you drive to the downtown in Trujillo, you see some kids cleaning the windows' car oftenly, specially on afternoons, most of them go to the school in the mornings, some of them go on the weekends and others don't go to the school.

People pay them 0.2 soles (0.06 dollars) for each cleaned...

Playing with Mud

Do you remember some moche artesans in a last post? Well, I visited a school in Poroto and found some kids working with ceramic, they were trying to do a similar historic ceramic, this activity looked so funny...

...ouch!

...Always, you can find someone to want to go with you, even tires'car are moving.

Hi-yo Silver...!

or Hi-yo Bronze!... :)

This is an detail of a bronze sculpture of a horse, made by Victor Delfin, a peruvian artist. You can see it into Modern Art Museum of Trujillo.

City Exchange... for today

San Salvador Church - Cusco ...San Salvador is an district of Cusco, this church is very special for people, they say you can come to ask whatever when you enter in, and you have to come back one year later to thanks, because your ask was reality.

I forgot to sign up to the day theme... but many blogger of the DP are showing great shots about "City Exchange". Remember, due to time difference they might not all be ready when you visit them.
