Javier lives in Lima, Peru. I was there in '92--& I saw a level of povery that would make a typical homeless person in San Francisco look like a yuppy. I saw, for example, two ten year old boys roasting an old yellow dog over a garbbage fire in a little park in downtown Lima. A Swiss tourist I met while there was robbed at gunpoint, led into an alley, & told to strip. He was left without even so much as his jockey shorts. Phaedra |
