Currently in my fourth city visit in Peru and I have already decided that this is my favorite one. I am not sure if it's because there are less tourists and less cars or because I get to hang out with my friend who has called Huaraz her home for the last three years. Perhaps it is a combination of all these things. Whatever the reason, it makes me realize what else I love about traveling... seeing how others live, wondering around without an agenda and time schedule, and learning about all the little nuances of another culture. I have found that it is when I am visiting somebody that the opportunities to see these things are available. It's one thing to be a tourist, it's another to be a guest.
