Alien

The PIP is really waterboarding... My Alien had to try out which one he liked better.

It didn´t take my Alien long to be an expert in Windsurfing.

The original photo was taken in 2021, but the Alien only appeared a few weeks ago.

When our Alien saw the photo of one the walls of Antioquía and above all when he read all those lovely comments he wanted to see and be in Antioquía too. He read the aritcle with Google: perusim.com/blog/antioquia-the-magical-corner-of-peru He was lucky, he arrived at the Feast Day of the Independence of Peru, on a 28th of July . Can you see him?

It wasn´t easy to sit on the fence, but our Alien managed it well.

In Antioquía, the fruit harvests, such as apples and quinces, were not doing well, since there were difficulties in accessing the market. The first step to make Antioquía more successful was to raise awareness among the population through workshops on fine arts, with experts who instructed the families of the town. Then, an international competition was held to choose the artistic design that the district would carry. Peruvian painter Enrique Bustamante was the winner. Thus, in 2004, the artist painted Antioquia. He began with the schools, the church, and the community hall, and continued with the houses and various public spaces. Also, as part of the economic development initiative, the inhabitants of Antioquia were trained in tourist services, to turn the town into an attractive destination for travelers. And they did an incredible job!
