I will always prefer to stay with locals or in cheaper accommodations with the chance of seeing how middle class people live than risk being only surrounded by moneyed tourists. I travel to learn about other people.<br /><br />PS: You can probably tell that I'm addicted to your blog. I just discovered it today. It's nice. I like it.Aritulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687717613812613840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713119441078458095.post-38660035037733931442010-11-09T09:46:56.713-08:002010-11-09T09:46:56.713-08:00How much time to Piura by bus?
