Greetings from Ayacucho. I will son be finishing my stay here. It has been a good place to start off a journey in South America. Its working class and gritty, like living in Pittsburgh. The place is also historical. It was the sight of where Peruvian patriots defeated the Spaniards to gain their independence as a nation. In the native Indian language, the name Ayacucho means ´dead corner´ because so many have died here during that battle for independence.
