¡Que fenómenos!

Initially I thought they were asking if we could take a photo of them, but no, they wanted us to pose so they could capture the sight of us on film. I was too shocked to realise what was going on before they actually took the damned picture. Something to show the grandchildren I suppose. Proof they once encountered such incredible specimens.

You'd swear we had six eyes, four noses and arses for faces. (No comments please.) People usually stare as we walk past. Oftentimes with mouths open too. Sometimes they talk among themselves and laugh after we've passed, other times they actually comment directly. Even now, as I type, there's a kid standing in front of me, just staring, as if trying to eat me with his big brown eyes.
It's clear we're the subject of much wonder for the Huancayans. It brings a whole new meaning to the term ¨tourist attraction¨.
