Peru 2013 Prologue

Peru 2013 – Prologue - Piura to Iquitos

After two days of travel and sightseeing in Lima, we’ve arrived in Piura.  Tomorrow we assemble bikes and begin our ride.  We’ll head for the ocean and an easy ride to tweak bikes and bodies. 

As the line goes, “We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.”  As I travelled from Chicago to Miami and Miami to Lima and Lima to Piura, the familiar ethnic mix of Irish, Italian, Polish, German, and English sure has changes.  Spanish, South American Indian and Asian all figure predominately in the mix.  Accents seem to me to be a hodge-podge of flavors.  The melting pot of American history has spread to South America.  The commercial world displays cars from around the world: Toyotas, Chevys, Kias, Cherys and on and on. 

Here are some images from the last two days:
