Trujillo Weekend Video


Ok, acá un intento rápido de un semi-video reporte de mi fin de semana en Trujillo. La verdad más que reporte del fin de semana es un video de caballos de paso y marinera, creo.
Igual, no sean muy críticos. Recuerden que no hay presupuesto para hacer estas cosas, tampoco hay tiempo, solo voluntad, jajajaja. mejor pido limosnas de una vez.

En cualquier momento subo otro video de otra marinera y el caballo de paso de mi tío.
Esto fue durante el almuerzo de aniversario del círculo de molineros, o algo así.

Trujillo: day 2

Woke up super late, had a super late shower, and a very good breakfast.
The weather here in Trujillo is awesome (compared to Lima). It has sunny mornings and it isn’t freakishly cold. Its like a constant spring. On the afternoons it gets kinda windy and a little bit cool. But its very comfortable.

Today we’re going to go to some activity with the “Molineros”. It sounds like its gonna be interesting and there will be lots of picture opportunity. Let’s hope so.

Ok, i just finished downloading the pictures of today. Actually there were more videos than photos. 2.3GB of video. Awesome day.


We went again to the “vivero” with my uncle. He had to double check some stuff before going to the “Almuerzo de los Molineros”. After that and some complaining on his part, we went back home to pick up my aunt and my cousin.
The lunch started with an awesome presentation of caballos de paso. Very, very splendid animals. Full of pride and elegance.


After that there was tons of food. They served Seco de Cabrito. Then they barbecued 5 calves. And we enjoyed the beauty of Marinera danced with caballos de paso.



There were also some cock fights, NOTE: i do not support, or enjoy, nor encourage this sort of animal torture, i'm merely reporting on my visit, and the events of the day.


After that a good dinner at a local chifa, and back on the bus to Lima.

:: weekend en trujillo ::

I arrived around 8:30 AM for some reason the trip took more than 8 hours, so lost. such a long time out of Trujillo, didn’t really remember anything.

Worse part, didn’t have my uncle’s address. I was supposed to be staying with him. Anyways, finally got in touch with my aunt, got the address and found out, that my uncle wasn’t there. I spent the day with my little cousins. We visited one of the most modern greenhouse planting grounds in Perú. They were currently planting some grapevine grafts. Everything in an extremely controlled environment.


I took some pics. Will ask for permission to post one. That day there were also some games. There were soccer matches and volleyball matches. And after that there was a barbecue. My cousins built a little bridge over some running water.

We went home, watched some TV with Aaron, while my aunt went with my cousin to some birthday party. I took the time to download my pics and play with some of them. Lightroom is really awesome for this. Pretty sweet software.

My uncle arrived around 11PM. The day ends there.
The night included a long skype call. I am thankful for the talk, missed those conversations.
