LB, I was only partially swallowed by a Jungle bunnie!
[QUOTE=Lima Busy]are still screwing things up for everyone in country. I have a buddie stuck in Puno and another in Cucso. Nobody has heard from xxxgoat since he went to Ayacucho but then again he might have been swallowed whole by a jungle bunnie! Stay away from centro for protests and the Sheraton(for the subway dig). It is freakin cold in Lima (record low's coming) alot of us heading east on the weekends. Anybody can confirm if the brothel in Lince (Althaus & P.T) was the one closed down a few day's after somone here posted directions?

After 2 days in Ayacucho my amiga's family told her to get me out of town during the week as trouble was coming. There were road closures, rallies and a large tourist hotel had the windows blown out. The locals really hate Bush and the USA intervention in the coca business.
We spent 5 days traveling dirt roads South of Ayacucho. Micro bus to Vilacshuaman for 2 days, back to Vischongo for a day and then hired a taxi to drive across the pampas to Congallo before returning to Ayacucho last Thursday afternoon and things were back to normal plus the addition of a large police presence.
I finally had a few hours alone Saturday afternoon to check out the local chicas so I headed to the main square. There were some real gems sprinkled around but with limited time I grabbed a taxi and headed to El Salonazo but it would not open until 8, went to Media Luna and it was the same thing. As a last resort I asked the taxi dude if he knew a place with chicas for company and of course he did. He took me to a place on the other side of town, a knock on a metal door in a block wall and we were admitted by a real cutie but the same story, come back later that night. The taxi dude did not know of any other places and I was out of time anyway. It looks like the p4p action is very limited in Ayacucho but it might be interesting if you had the time to check it out.
We took the morning bus and arrived back in Lima this afternoon.

2007 Peru Earthquake information by USGS
I'm not sure how long this first link will work, as it's still under "Latest Earthquakes," but it has a lot of technical details on the quake. Click the "Maps" tab and you'll find a "Shakemap" showing the relative local shaking and damage with a color scale. Lima is right on the edge of the "Light/Moderate" damage zone.
