Brief exposure to Lima through the bus window lookingglass on the way to our Cusco flight. I like it. Folks on brightly painted city buses smile and wave and the air conditioned tourists. Stoplight street performer spinning an improvised devil stick in traffic hams it up for us, knowing that there’s no way we can tip him; we applaud silently, and he gives us a big grin and that Hawaiian sign.

Crazy traffic going every way, but no horns blaring – it’s all, in a way, cool. Yeah, I like it.
