I am feeling much more tranquila about Peru now. I've gotten a bit more into the groove, but it really is a different world. I'm a stranger. Somehow it doesn't seem right how everyone from more affluent countries come to gawk and take photos of everyone here. What has been for a very long time- the traditions and cultures and so much more are heavily exploited for tourists. At the same time, tourism will probably be the saving grace for the economies here. You can make so much more money off of tourists than you can with the local people. It's bread in a mouth that might otherwise be hungry.
