Day 4

Goats in the streets of Chincha. You can see the woman who herds them -- apparently she brought her mountain culture down with her. The destruction by the earthquake on August 15, 2007 was incredible to see -- the majority of the adobe homes had collapsed, and not many had been rebuilt. People are living in "basket homes," made out of reeds, and people can't leave their homes for fear that everything in them will be stolen.
