yo ho ho and a good morning to all

I hope that everyone is well and feeling bright and breezy.

I am sorry that my last few posts have been less than lyrical and lacking in interesting observations and tip bits about life here. I am now feeling rejuvinated and ready to face the day after a glorious sleep, after a meeting up with Rudolfo and Gian Carlos for a hot chocolate in the park I was off to bed lulled to sleep by the musical car alarms. And awoke dreaming of glorious sunshine, unfortunately my dreams are yet to be realised and a mist is hanging heavy over the city. This unfortunate weather will I hope infact be an aid to my state of mind and will enable me to fully concentrate on preparing for my interview tomorrow of which my details are rather sketchy. So today is spent like those that I have left behind in Reading cramming, sitting surrounded by sheets of paper and highlighters. I do however lack an appropriate work station so instead will be taking my revision to lovers park giving me the inspriational view of the sea and the city and ofcourse ample numbers of lovers. This will ofcourse aid my thoughts on human rights (which the interview concerns) in terms of freedom of expression. Here, as seems to be the case in the rest of South America, young lovers (what a wonderful phrase that makes me sound like ancient and dusty academic) feel that there is no need for a private location to express their wanton desire and affection for their partner. Instead everyone becomes fully aware of the nature of their feelings. I got into a discussion about this behaviour yesterday with an American girl and we both agreed that we were more comfortable in our relatively prudish countries.

With this beautiful image of human interaction and intimate communication I bid you farewell as I must to work.

Lots of Lima love to all (dont worry not that kind of love!)
