I truthfully don't recall if this is the same town as I showed yesterday or a second town but I believe it was the latter. It was getting to be late afternoon and traffic was sufficient to fill the street. Notice on the far right of the photo that there is a countdown clock for the street light. I know some US towns have those for the pedestrian crosswalk but in Peru they are there for the drivers at almost every light. And have I mentioned that in Peru pedestrians do not have the right of way? The drivers really do not stop for a pedestrian so one must be very vigilant when walking. Our guide indicated that there are a large number of pedestrian deaths every year. Thankfully we did not add to the number.
