Huancayo, Peru [a Nice Place to See, or Even Retire] NOW in English and Spanish
Everyone is going to say: “Now where is this place?” It is the best hidden secret in Peru. But first let me state, of all the places I’ve been to in the world, there are about six or seven places I could live: Paris being one [just overlook the French people, wish they were English]; Lisbon, being two; Kyoto being three [my wife is jealous of the Japanese women though]; Seville, Spain [home to Hercules] being four; St. Paul, Minnesota [home to the poet Longfellow, and the novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald] being five; and Peru [home to Ricardo Palma, the Mark Twain of Peru].
In Peru there are three places I can GoClever 4384FM live: Lima, Cuzco, and Huancayo. But the best place of them Philips 20PFL4112S all is Huancayo, which has a travel to thailand beautiful twilight; the sunsets, like a canopy over the Mantaro Valley and like a shooting flame, it lights up everything; and the Laguna de Paca, the beautiful lake nearby, with its full moon, is enchanting; and its Sunday market, and all the vendors with their assortment of foods. If a retired American cannot live here on his little Social Security, he can’t live anywhere else in the world cheaper, with such culture, climate and scenery; not to mention, but I will, its great food variety, and hospital people; and a nearby hospital for those whom are elderly. They are not like most of the world: take the American dollar, and spit at them as they walk out their door. Yes, I’m afraid that is what you will see if you travel the world; Europe being top dog in this department. Go where you like, but live where you’re respected. And Peru is one place, and surely Huancayo. In Peru, police protect Americans, and for some odd reason trust them. My advice to them is not to be so trusting of us, we are not all as you would have us be. There is an old breed still like that, but few of us left. They got this idea, that what we say is written in stone, and it used to be; but nowadays it seems the stones are made out of mud, not granite like they used to be. I repeat myself, there still is a string of this cultural fiber left, but it is thin. But in Huancayo the people are gracious people, and the Andes are spectacular. And Huancayo has its nose right in it.</p
