Cuy for Sale!

Downtown Lima, Peru

Cuy (guinea pig) for sale!

Lima is an interesting city. Large, sprawling, dirty, and full of wonderfully sweet people.

This evening we´re off to Arequipa, which is called the White City. Supposed to be very beautiful.

Uugh. I couldn't make myself order the guinea pig when I was there. My brother did.

Gabor, Thanks for the comments! This one is, naturally, not from Kansas City, but instead much further south!

On the subject of photos of kansas city, I've started inviting local photographers to sumbit their photos to Kansas City Daily Photo. It's turning out to be a great way of seeing a wide variety of perspectives on what folks find interesting about my city. I've been doing this blog for three years, I felt it was time for some fresh blood, so to speak!
