A month ago I was able to journey to Lima, Peru for Will Milner’s wedding and enjoyed a blissful four days walking and living in a laid back neighborhood called Barranco. To watch families of varying economic status walking dogs or sitting and enjoying parks together, speaking to one another, checking on neighbors was refreshing. No agenda, no rush. And sure, there were tourists,of which I was one, but the neighborhood did not feel dominated by that element. It felt a bit wild and unpredictable at times, not entirely polished, but well lived in by locals.
Shannon and I find ourselves longing to return there. I talked to Will last week and shared how much we enjoyed it. We both felt echoes of our childhood Charleston memories in explaining the allure of Barranco. A place to “live”.
Thanks for the update. 18 Years. Wow. I loved it down there. I really want to return soon. And it was so great to see you and Concha in Berlin last summer.
