I have met so many people from Peru over the last few months; however, I was able to form a real friendship with Alejandra. Alejandra is a Peruvian student who has been kind to me, showing me how the transportation works in Lima. She has also helped me understand Peruvian history a bit more by giving me her point of view. I hope you enjoy her story.
My name is Alejandra Cristina Samame Dulanto.
I live in Lima, Peru in the district of Jesus Maria. I have a three story house near an avenue, so it gets pretty noisy at times. My house is beige and has many colonial mirrors and pieces of art inside.
I have a big family. I live with my parents, Oscar and Tita. I have one older sister named Katia who is married and has two children. I also have an older brother named Oscar, and he has one child and another one on the way. I have five aunts and two uncles on my mom's side of the family. My grandpa and grandma live nearby, so we visit them all the time.
