The mother and
father herded their sheep and donkeys past us and stopped for a chat.
Sounded like the mother had a headache so we gave her three ibuprofen,
one she took the others went in her little bag.
The father asked for a
little money for food so as I gave him some coins the mothers hand
went out. So we gave s/5 to both. The father could read and write.
They had been married 28 years so I guess they may have been our age
or even younger…. They live a hard life.
As with most farmers
(world wide) he complained of the lack of rain and therefore not much food for the
animals.
As we passed through
one village, I bought a small packet of fried banana chips and a few mandarins. Arrived in Huanuco to check wifi and parking then headed
back south.
Traffic very busy - mayhem. But got out onto the red road
south. Main road to Lima. Just a small two way sealed road.
