Huancayo


What a surprise: it's rice for lunch. . . . . AGAIN. I was stranded in the town of Huancayo for several days due to an anti-capitalism strike that incapacitated all public transportation. With lots of free time on my hands and little in the way of reading material, I ended up serendipitously befriending a local family. The family's three kids, Yenni, Yaneth, and Jhonny, took a major interest in my camera. Photo by Yaneth, age 8
