Line of color

Little detail on the road...

Searching fruits

In Poroto again... Sometimes you can find fruits on the trees, this time I saw a lot of pinneaples and ciruelas (plums). A little girl was eating some of plums while her older sister was on the tree searching the best fruit for her.

Working

Last weekend, two friends and I walked for many hours in Poroto (40 min from Trujillo) just for job and for being outside of the city... we see many people working on the road, we see many kids helping to their parents.

Conache lake

Conache is a little town of Laredo (district of Trujillo), there is a lake here, a very quiet place, many families come to here for camping a weekend or just be here on sundays.

This lake is formed by an underground river, it's arounded by desert and farm lands, you can see many contrasts in Conache.

Huaca de la Luna

The "Huaca de la Luna" is an adobe brick temple built by the Moche civilization on the north coast of Peru, in Moche (a district of Trujillo). You can visit just for $4.

The huaca was decorated in registers of murals which were painted in black, bright red, sky blue, white, and yellow. The sun and weather has since faded these murals away, but other murals used in earlier phases of construction can still be seen inside the Huaca.

More Mud

Mud is very used in north coast of Peru, since many centuries ago... last post "mud bricks" is a way, another is making different objects, practical and decorative, this is an ancient custom from Moche Culture. We know many things of Moche people for thier ceramics, where they show all of their lifes.

Mud bricks

In Moche, a district of Trujillo, some people rent farm spaces to use minerals and clay that contains and to make mud bricks called "adobes".

These two men produce 1000 bricks in one day. When they finish using the land, they will give back it to the farmer who no longer will be able to cultivate so easy because this one already lost its mineral wealth.

Plazuela El Recreo

This is a detail of a nice monument, which was in the middle of the main square, but it was taken to five blocks up, Pizarro Street, maybe it was little in comparisson to the actual monumment which was a gift from France Goverment.

Inside Old Office from UNT

This is the second part of the last post about the old office from University National of Trujillo (UNT)... some views inside. The first one is the room where Principal of th University meet with university authorities, the second one is the room for special and closer ceremonies, and the last one is a detail of the arches of the last post.

UNT: Old Office

This is the main office of the National University from Trujillo (called UNT), this place is very special beause it's beautiful, colors are magic, its traditional architecture and it's an historical place. UNT was created by Simon Bolivar (1824), an hero for peruvian independence; the first students studied in this place which belong to Catholic Church.

Roots without roots

I don't know why people cut trees... I got sad when I saw this root from an old tree, a tree was almost 400 years old, maybe it was sick, I don't know, but in I've seen many cutted trees in last days.

Trees can be save the life someday... now, they do it but we can see it all the time.

Club Central

"Casa Iturregui" is an old colonial house built in XIX century... Now is "El Club Central", a place very "exclusive", you must be member to visit in. It's a beautiful house but it isn't open for all people from Trujillo, its schedules visit is to 7am to 10 am.

Picarones

If you go back to Trujillo from Huanchaco beach, you'll find a place on the road where eat some typical food... These aren't donnouts but maybe they have a similar shape, these are called "picarones", which is a sweet, ring-shaped fritter with a pumpkin base; often served with a molasses syrup. Picarones are very popular and it's no easy to get this shape to cook them.

Silence

All of churches are visited for many people, much of them stay inside for hours singing and praying... It´s common to see hide images of Christ and Saints.

Rest of dinosaurio

Rest of dinosaurio?... some craftsman made a dinosario with marine animal bones, it is a very peculiar adornment. The Fair of Craftsmen of Huanchaco always is very original.

Live sculpture

There are many live sculptures in Trujillo downtown, most of them is related to our history and customs... This sculpture was transferred to the time of the slavery.

Reading

An interesting and long reading... this sculpture is in "Miraflores Cementery".

Let it go!

Sunday... a quiet day, enjoying a nice day.
