Nobody is there!

This house is in front of the Trujillo main square, it's an old colononial house, maybe it was very important any time ago. The doors are closed, there is nothing inside, only some bricks can be seen by the windows. I don't know who is the ownerbut I think it's necessary that sombody takes care of it.

Esta casona se encuentra en frente de la Plaza MAyor de Trujillo, es una casona colonial antigua y probablemente ha sido muy importante algún tiempo atrás. Las puertas están tapiadas y algunos ladrillos se pueden ver a través de las ventanas. No sé a quién pertenece pero creo que es necesario que alguien vea por ella.

The sweet "King Kong"

King Kong is a traditional desserts made of cakes (made of flour, butter, eggs and milk), stuffed with a sweet, creamy filling made with milk and sugar, pineapple jam and sweet of peanut, putting in a cake among them.

People tell that in the years of 1920, the famous film King Kong was exhibited in the city, and funny people compared the mold and size (20-25 cm of diameter) of this dessert with the figure of great gorilla, calling it since then the "King Kong".

King Kong es un dulce típico hecho de galletas (hechas de harina, mantequilla, yemas de huevo y leche), rellenas con manjar blanco, dulce de piña y dulce de maní, intercalando una galleta entre ellos.

La gente cuenta que en los años de 1920, se exhibía en la ciudad la famosa película del gorila King Kong, la picardía popular comparó el molde y tamaño de este postre (20-25 cm de diametro) con la figura del gran gorila, llamándolo desde entonces el King Kong.

New door, old house

new door for the new renter? or the door of the renter who went away?

After the earthquake in the south of the country, specialists in construction have questioned the use of adobes (mud bricks), by thousands of years people from the peruvian north coast has used adobes to construct their houses, the land gift “pachamama” was the mud and thus it stays until today.

Since today, I'll post in spanish too, some friends suggested me and I think they're right.

¿nueva puerta para el nuevo inquilino? o ¿la puerta del que se fue?

Después del terremoto en el sur del pais, especialistas en construcción han cuestionado el uso del adobe, por miles de años la costa norte ha usado el adobe para construir sus casas, el regalo de la tierra "pachamama" fue el barro y así se mantiene hasta hoy.

Desde hoy postearé en español también, a sugerencia de algunos amigos, creo que es buena idea.

San Pedro cactus

Maybe, you can't see the cactus... it's San Pedro cactus, a fast-growing columnar cactus native to the Andes of Peru. Old peruvian people used to recreating their imagination, maybe to see the future, it was considered like a "spiritual plant".

I guess, then to drink san pedro, you'd see the things like this pic ^^.

_____

Wiki says: The San Pedro cactus is used as an entheogen in shamanic cultures of the Andes and more recently in the western world[citation needed]. The most common form of preparation is to cut the cactus into slices, boil it for over 7 hours and juice it into a green liquid preparation that is then drunk during the ceremony which usually happens at night[citation needed].

Seeing cloth drying by the air is very common here, also, it's common to see meat (beef) dried by means of air and sun, specially in the country side. This kind of meat is called "cecina".
