Quick! Snap a Photo

I was out in the field today again in Carabayllo, north of Comas.  I've seen the homes perched on the hillside quite a few times now, but I keep being amazed at how bizarrely fascinating it all is.  The signs that read "Keiko" are for a presidential candidate named Keiko Fujimori.  If you know anything about Peru, you'll have heard of her papa, Alberto Fujimori, who is a former president of Peru currently in prison for corruption and human rights violations.  Why, then, would his daughter be running for president?  That is a really complicated issue, and mostly has to do with the widespread support A. Fujimori still has here.  Many folks credit him with rooting out terrorism and fixing the Peruvian economy.  Clearly he has his critics as well.

I was with my favorite loan officer, Ayme, when I took the shot above.  The client we were talking to obviously noticed that I took the picture, and insisted that we take a picture of her daughter with me.  She called the daughter outside and here you have it:

I will now email the photo to Ayme, who promised to print it out for the client.  Proof that a real, live gringa came to visit!  Thrilling, no?
