On the streets of Lima

These were but a few of the photos that I took during the week which I manage by lugging around my camera along with all my teaching supplies.  The fact that Lima is such a busy and active city makes it a perfect place for street photography, as each day provides something new to photograph.

 The fairly hippie man came on to the bus in an attempt to sale health food and preach the horrors of an unsanitary diet and lifestyle which, in his opinion most Limeñans have.  His approach was rather crude and somewhat offensive, all of which made it difficult for him to sell to anyone on the bus.  In the end the passengers who had grown tired of his rants insulted him until he was left with no other option but to retreat from the bus all while trying to hold onto whatever shread of dignity he had left.

 Traffic is so chaotic in the downtown area of Lima that it isn't uncommon to see transit police guiding traffic the old fashion way in spite of all the functioning traffic lights.
