Hard boiled eggs a luxury in Peru highland town
The August dispatch from Puno, Peru, describes life 12 500 feet up near Lake Titicaca. It notes Indian predominance, limited agriculture, a thriving market run by women, and stark living conditions with cold nights, pianos in wealthy homes, and unique courtyard paving. The piece ties local customs to mining legends and suggests the region’s wealth from silver mines while detailing daily hardships.
