I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Flashback: Lima


The Museo Larco has an extensive collection of pre-Columbian art and the various cultures that lived in Peru before the brief reign of the Incas, including a truly astonishing collection of erotic sculptures. (I particularly remember a pitcher or teapot of sorts with an anatomically detailed spout.) These sculptures were on the wall outside the bathrooms, which made me laugh at the time and still makes me smile.

I am trying to move books and furniture to make way for the installation of new air conditioners tomorrow. It is not going well, so I can use all the smiles I can get.
