My dear compatriots, friends, near and far!
for those who are wondering what happened to I've done since I left Rome that "far away" 13 July (for the umpteenth time to risk losing my plane - running and sweating, a big thank you to Damian that and 'was the key turning point!).
I made the sweet end to those who return to work in the field and must get used to the pace, content, climate, goals, food, in other words - real life - after the holidays!
Not to mention that in less than two months I have changed three scenarios at the same time
- 1. a stop-over Habana in Cuba for two and a half days super intense with lots of tears at the start to be separated from the family that had hosted me (early in the travelogue Cuban);
- 2. a quiet landing in Panama, I renewed the contract for another year, although I realize that I live in a free port where nothing 'real, but all' built to give pleasure to do business, to trade ... . a haven in the midst of campaigns if left to 'the same and where people live on $ 200 a month;
- 3. a meeting with Peru ', this country melancholy and introspective .... from about 15 days I find myself at once to make terms with life in Lima. The book by Mario Vargas Llosa (recently read) "Travesuras de la nina mala" I was prepared for this period of work-life Peruvian lasts 6 weeks.
My adaptation to the city 'of the mists in the middle of the desert and the Peruvian' strong state. It's not every day to go from 35 to 15 degrees with a lot of colds. Lima 'a city' hard for the climate and size. It has a constant gray hood (Milan style) and an area of \u200b\u200balmost 10 million inhabitants. To get out of here, it takes at least three hours - through dilapidated neighborhoods - a few days ago we moved from the suburbs - slums for slum built on mounds ephemeral. Houses built one brick on another, with aluminum roofs that combine a wire hanging clothes to another, and those who live and 'without heating (and we are at 15 degrees with a humidity '
crazy, let's talk !)... Do not know what a heater!
And waiting for the day when the sun retorno, an expectation of fear - say the cloudy sky and a curse of the Incas, Lima to condemn to be the cause of contamination in urban Peru '. Waiting for the sun in fear 'cause when comes out of the cloud cover and' bearer of a mystical message of the Gods - and generally a 'sign of imbalances and changes - the last time and' out the sun and blue sky in Lima ' was August 15 - after half an hour and the earth 'movement, the result of the earthquake of 9 degrees.
They say that Lima has the most 'high suicide rate of all South America, 'cause here - you have to work like a nigger to live like a white-and under a sunless sky. The other day for the first time I spoke with a person who has attempted suicide several times ... it was a taxi driver without suceso lively, a young man who had nervous problems and knows all about natural remedies for the heart. Meetings touching!
Lima 'urbe a tough but elegant, "La ciudad de los reyes" - Baroque and culturally vibrant - Panama after the trade, I am surprised the cultural offer - a thousand concerts and activities. The kitchen and 'gourmet chef has the primacy of the capital of South America, close to Mediterranean cuisine, based on healthy ingredients - oil, lemon, fresh fish, vegetables and 100 styles other than potatoes and peppers.
For the first time in my life, I am in the midst of a social investigation - a great professional challenge. For the first time will develop 'an exploratory investigation of the factors that enable children and adolescents to access health services and treatment antirretrovirale (for HIV). This is not the constant-gardener-like effect opines my brother, but sometimes it seems to me to be in the middle of a movie, when we meet with health personnel, with the activists, with their mothers and fathers.
After two weeks of reading and study of protocols and studies, we began with interviews with experts and targeted companies' civilians, including families and people living with HIV. Tonight we start Ucayali and then to Chachapoyas (no, not the names of cartoon characters, are the names of the capitals of the regions of Amazonas y Pucallpa - the jungle frontier with Bolivia and Brazil). In short, a periodino intense and interesting, in which practically live for the job. Accompanied me in the undertaking of a Peruvian lords about 40 years, petite and vivacious, and that 'doctor.
So, I continue to tell and tell, music, cumbia and Pasha, the pledge (aka - the milonga Peruvian), the ceviche, melancholy eyes of the people and solid, the energy of medicinal herbs of the Andes, the leaves of coca, but I'll stop here 'cause I have to sew before leaving for the forest.
I seem to live several lifetimes in of my own, here and now this!
I leave you with a song that made me feel the value-telling stories - the importance of telling stories at this time that flies and turns at every instant in 100 different ways!

a huge hug from the Apennines to the Andes - or from the Alps to the Andes ... Anna
