Fish Day

Every Sunday, most of the people prefer to eat fresh fish... we have a lot of kind of fishes and many ways to cook them. This pic shows just two simple dishes: fried fish and "sudado"... do you know "ceviche"? it's the most famous but it was very early for a ceviche (9.00 am), yes, this was our breakfast...

If you have problems with your shoes, these can be fixed very easy, in the center of the city we found stores where shoes are fixed with the simplest and old machines of the city ... it's cheaper and the shoes are as you want.

ice on wheels

When the sun arrives, everybody go to the beach and they, the ice cream salesman do not stay in the city. On the road, we found them riding their bikes for 12 km (two ways=24 km), they take sweet and fresh ice cream for everybody... hard job?

smelling new airs...

a detail of my dog "Gaucho"... he loves beach, so do I :)

UFOs?

A detail from my neighborhood... I like this little trees, they have an original desing and they look like UFO. My nephew says this trees look like ballet dancers without head and without arms :S ...what do you see here?

Caballitos de Totora

Weather is changing and it's the best time to go to the beach for a moment. Everyday, many fishers from Huanchaco use "caballos de totora" for sailing and fishing, for me, it's very pleasant to see them because it's a detail of our history, this is a custom from "Moches fishers".

Here you can see "huanchaqueros" (people fom Huanchaco) of all ages using "caballitos de totora" or woving their webs. I always enjoy to come here and this is one reason to do it.

This draw was found on a "ceramic moche", this represents how old moche people fished...

Marinera on the streets

Say Marinera is say Trujillo... by time to time, some insttitutions celebrate with this dance on the street, for a moment people stop to see the dance and enjoy the music, this makes special to our city.

Educating in an election campaign

Every sunday some friends and I go to each district of Trujillo to guide about this election campaign, how to vote and what are the roles of the major. We have some games and spaces where people can say or write what is the most important for their district... This sunday is election day, we hope people can express a conscious vote, most of the time people prefer to hear promises which are not sure to be reality.

Inca Kola

Inca Kola, the most representative soda in Peru, all peruvians prefer!!!. Coca Cola Company bought it but Inca Kola is called as "soda with national flavour"... it's a long story for a soda.

the most famous

This side of the city (Jr. Independencia, block4) has the most famous old colonial houses, they always are on magazines for tourists. The first one is Libertadores Hotel, next blue house is "La Casona Cisneros o La Casona" (my office is here ;) ), the yellow house is "La Casona Pinillos", the red house is an office of an Hopital and finally we find the Beneficence building.

House or Bank

A beautiful old colonial house, this is the "Central Bank of Reserve", an institution for currency policy... all the time is almost empty, no many people come for here.

angelical piece

A litle detail on the "Lawyer House", a place where all the lawyers belong...

History Museum

History Museum in Trujillo is visited oftenly by tourist, but sometimes people from Trujillo don't know it, this place is an old colonial house.

Today, I was at "Poroto" (a district of Trujillo) for working reasons and we visit a school (the only one there).

We found kids playing, some of them danced for festival of peruvian floklore. This girl is wearing a tiplic cloth from Ancash (a state from peruvian highland), her school is poor but people works for improving all the time.

In the middle to the silence in Huanchaco beach...

fallen flight

A kid found a sick orn seagull at the beach, I asked him about that bird and he told me "I'll take with me until it is fine, then i'll come it back here"... simple, isn't it? How many times we help anybody so decisively? I don't know... :S

a walk for a cementery

Yesterday, here, we remember and grieve for our dead relatives and many people went to the cementery as a culture death. In this day, we can find at the cementery some of music, a lot of flowers and sometimes some people cook special food in momorian of their dead relatives.

(if you want to see some pictures of the old side of this cementery, click here)

Something that is about to disappear soon

Some Colonial old houses (casonas coloniales) from San Martin Street are about to disappear soon, people need money to rebuild but sometimes they prefer to sell them for a great prize, then, they are new houses but with a new and a diferent style.
