The Christmas trees in the Plaza de Armas were bright and sometimes entertaining but what really caught my eye were these breakdancing kids in Trujillo. Among all of the acts in the square, they easily attracted the largest crowd.
The kids needed some warming up but even the littlest tykes are performing flips on the pavement.
After tipping Bendy Blue 5 soles (which is considered a generous donation in Peru) the B-boys stepped up their game.
Breakdancing... how cool is that to be far away from home yet see a slice of cultural phenomena right in front of your eyes? I love this not only because it shows Peruvians engaged in an activity that is not stereotypically associated with Latino men but also because breakdancing is pretty darn awesome... I harbor well-suppressed wishes to learn how to do this sort of stuff.
