Top Ten Simply Peruvian Things

1. Mountain Food - The staple of every hearty Peruvian meal is chicken, rice, and potatoes

2. Canines - A nasty dog that barks at everything is of the utmost importance.

3. Clothing - Every Quechua lady must wear at minimum ten skirts and five sweaters. Top that off with three pairs of socks and you are ready to go out in seventy degree weather. It is a style all its own.

4. Compliments - Question, Who is your daughter? Response, The fat one down the street. (Real question and answer)

5. Calenders - To me a calender dated 1996 what serve no purpose, but in the mountains of Peru no room is complete without one.

6. Volleyball - Yes, Peruvians love their volleyball. It is shocking.

7. The Peruvian Rule - When riding anywhere there is always room for one more. It does not matter if you cannot move or not.

8. Time - Be there at seven, eight, nine, who cares. Time does even exist in Peru.

9. Drink - A warm Inca Kola will wash down anything. You will never find a cold drink in the mountains.

10. Dancing - My personal favorite is the dancing. It is just ackward. Nothing like randomly dancing in a tree, on a rock, or in a field. By dancing I mean head nodding and foot shaking. Plus they all make videos to show off their awesomeness.
