Hello hello community! I was inactive for several weeks, we are back to resume the march with this humble walk that I did these days with @nattymitty who always accompanies me in this crazy life haha.
One afternoon, we went out for a walk we ate some desserts that I didn't photograph, but they were super super yummy. The plan was to go to a certain place but we took it very easy, after all, it's walking Wednesday!
SPANISH
Hola hola comunidad! Estuve inactivo varias semanas, volvemos a retomar la marcha con este humilde paseo que hice estos dĂas con @nattymitty que siempre me acompaña en esta vida loca jaja.
â
Una tarde, salimos a dar una vuelta comimos unos postres que no fotografié, pero estaban super super ricos. El plan era ir a un determinado lugar pero lo tomamos muuy con calma, después de todo, ¥Es Miércoles de caminata!
We passed by the market and I took some pictures, nothing very special.
You know, markets have their magic, I've been trying to take some good pictures for Market Fridays (it's another community that I find interesting) and the truth is that it's been kind of complicated. I guess it's all a matter of practice.
For now I highlight a picture of a mural and the typical architecture of most of the neighborhoods in Lima. It is what you would see on a walk in most of the neighborhoods in Lima.
Is anyone from Peru around? Leave a comment, where are you reading from?
SPANISH
Pasamos cerca del mercado y tomé algunas fotos, nada muy especial.
â
Saben, los mercados tienen su magia, he estado tratando de sacar algunas buenas fotografĂas para los Viernes de Mercado (es otra comunidad que me resulta interesante) y la verdad se me ha hecho como complicado. Supongo que todo es cuestiĂłn de prĂĄctica.
â
Por ahora resalto la fotografĂa de un mural y de la arquitectura tĂpica de la mayorĂa de los barrios en Lima. Es lo que verĂas en en una caminata en la gran mayorĂa de los barrios de Lima.

ÂżHay alguien de PerĂș por aqui? Deja tu comentario! ÂżDesde dĂłnde me lees?
I really liked this photo of a common neighborhood greengrocer's shop. It is a very very normal scene here in Peru and therein lies part of its magic, in how common this kind of establishments are.
They sell at an excellent price, the freshest fruit I have ever tasted and above all they have a great variety. Just in this photo above you can see at least 3 different types of manzas, 2 or 3 varieties of grapes, 2 different varieties of tangerines, different types of bananas and etc etc....
It is something that I value very much of this country đ”đȘ the fresh fruit, varied and at a good price.
SPANISH
Ăsta foto de una fruterĂa de barrio comĂșn me gustĂł mucho. Es una escena muy muy normal aquĂ en el PerĂș y allĂ radica parte de su magia, en lo comĂșn que son este tipo de establecimientos.
â
Venden a un excelente precio, la fruta mĂĄs fresca que he probado nunca y sobre todo tienen una gran variedad. SĂłlo en esta foto se aprecian por encima al menos 3 tipos diferentes de manzas, 2 o 3 variedades de uvas, 2 variedades diferentes de mandarina, diferentes plĂĄtanos y etc etc...
â
Es algo que valoro mucho de este paĂs đ”đȘ la fruta fresca, variada y a buen precio.
And here we come to the long-awaited second-hand clothing fair!
The rise of this concept of "garage" sales has been increasing more and more, and it seems a very logical and necessary option if we take into account all the damage that the fast fashion industry does to good people.
I mean, from men, women and children with slave labor and low paid jobs to its advertising campaigns with exaggerated body models, fast fashion has brought more problems than it has solved.
We won't even mention the serious environmental damage, because many see it as distant even though it is here among us.
It is also very ugly to see that in the stores most of the things sold look the same, according to the fashion trend.
That's why repairing and reusing has been making people talk, especially those who are a little more aware of the associated problems, and people who like to dress well and varied, but without spending all the month's money in the process.
SPANISH
Y llegamos a la tan anhelada feria de ropa de segunda mano!
â
El auge de este concepto de ventas "de garaje" ha ido subiendo cada vez mås, y es que parece una opción muy lógica y necesaria si tomamos en cuenta todo el daño que hace la industria del fast fashion a la gente de bien.
â
Digo, desde hombres, mujeres y niños con trabajos esclavizantes y poco remunerados hasta sus campañas publicitarias con modelos de cuerpos exagerados, el fast fashion ha traĂdo mĂĄs problemas de lo que ha solucionado.
â
Ni siquiera vamos a mencionar el grave daño ambiental, porque muchos lo ven lejano aunque esté aquà entre nosotros.
â
TambiĂ©n es bien feo ver que en las tiendas la mayorĂa de las cosas que se venden parecen iguales, segĂșn la tendencia de moda.
â
Por eso, el reparar y reutilizar viene dando de qué hablar sobre todo entre las personas un poco mås conscientes de la problemåtica asociada, y de las personas que gustan de vestir bien y variado, pero sin gastar todo el dinero del mes en el proceso.
And well, it is obvious that by buying some used clothes we are not going to change the world or avoid the megacompanies, but we can change our world and the way we feel about our home.
Somewhere on the internet I read, "in times of consumerism, repairing is an act of rebellion" and I would add reusing.
Reuse that old bicycle that was never used again, reuse that technological device that for some is already obsolete, give a second life to that garment that has already been in many photographs and so on.
Besides the experience of going to fairs and bazaars is something else, you could even exchange something you have that you no longer want for something you want.
Natalia loves these places, I have seen the magic. The magic is her little face lighting up as she searches through the piles of clothes :)
SPANISH
Y bueno, es obvio que comprando alguna que otra prenda usada no vamos a cambiar el mundo ni a evitar a las megacompañĂas, pero si podemos cambiar nuestro mundo y la manera como nos sentimos con nuestro hogar.
â
En algĂșn lugar del internet leĂ, "en tiempos de consumo reparar es un acto de rebeldĂa" y yo le añadirĂa tambiĂ©n reutilizar.
â
Reutilizar esa bicicleta vieja que nunca mĂĄs se usĂł, reutilizar ese aparato tecnolĂłgico que para algunos ya quedĂł obsoleto, darle una segunda vida a esa prenda que ya saliĂł en muchas fotografĂas y asĂ.
â
AdemĂĄs la experiencia de ir a ferias y bazares es otra cosa, incluso podrĂas intercambiar algo que tienes y que ya no quieras por algo que quieras.
â
A Natalia le encantan estos lugares, yo he visto la magia. La magia es su carita iluminada mientras busca en las pilas de ropa :)
I leave you with this photo as a bonus track, it is the most common public transport in Lima, the "combis" or "trufis" as some Argentinean friends call it hehe.
I liked the bluish color of the LED light, and that it captures well how the view is one of those.
Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings!
SPANISH
Les dejo con esta foto de bonus track, es el transporte pĂșblico mĂĄs comĂșn en Lima, las "combis" o "trufis" como le dicen algunos amigos argentinos jeje.
â
Me gustĂł el color azulado de la luz LED, y que capta bien cĂłmo es la vista es una de esas.
â
Gracias por leer, saludos y bendiciones!
