Buenas tardes everyone for my very last post from Peru.

Three months and 5 days can fly by pretty fast, but after all that time the tour has ended for me and mnay others in the Dreamtime. For the rest of them, a river tour (that I`m insanely jealous to be missing) is in stock. For a few others, there`s more travels in Peru, Europe, or just back on home to Cali. For me and Mumu, we have a scant 16 hours or so until our flight tp Puerto Rico leaves.

We had two more shows in Pucallpa sinc... read more

Buenas todos!

Another week has gone by as has another destination for the circus. After our show at Fiteca in the dangerous barrio of Comas, we were scheduled to arrive at Cidro, a open shelter for street kids, in the dangerous barrio of Victoira in Lima. We finally got to connect with our host family in Comas when they sent us on our way with a delectable lunch (noodle stir fry with potatoes in a creamy chesse and aji sauce). We left them with a cake and two plants for the house.... read more

Que tal?

So begins the second half of the Dreamtime Circus Peru tour. This week has been a challange but a very fun and exciting one. So Mumu and I made it to Lima late Sunday night and taxied up to Comas, a suburb of Lima set in the surrounding mountains. We arrived at our rooftop accomodations about 12 Am Monday morning to find a fresh supply of dreamtime performers setling into our three rooms and a fresh supply of Californian chocolate to boot. The weahter in Comas is confusing ... read more
