Chan Chan
Chan Chan, ancient, vast (the largest adobe city in the world), brown, dusty, and I feel sick. Pardon my excursus, and let me explain.
We were in Trujillo, and so had to go to visit Chan Chan, a prominent archeological site here in Peru. It is on the coast, so the inhabitants ancient did some fishing. They left us a legacy of vast brown walls stretching over 20 Km, a few parts of which were covered by a milieu of fertility symbols, fish, and pelicans. It was stupendous, to say the least.
Note the Pelicans
The main square in the palace. Note the pelicans ;-)

"Re Copado" meets "Muy Chevere", the result is fantastically "cool".
