A sastreria is a tailor or a seamstress and thanks to Google we brought two pairs of pants to repair rips at this place (above) as well as a shirt I bought in Florida which needed to be recut; in four hours and for $20 all was done. Meanwhile out in the street the mobile banana seller equipped with a loudspeaker went by…noise pollution:
Potholes? No problem. Eventually someone may fix it.
Peruvians crowd sidewalks and don’t yield, so it’s a case of shove and live to push another day.
It’s picturesque but this kind of selling is a sign of poverty too.
Need socks?
Time is running out so as we complete our paperwork chores for our next border crossing I try to record the streets of Arequipa for posterity. This is what it’s like to walk the town.
