Quite spontaneously and against my usual
Facebook ban, I posted my location as soon as I had arrived in Lima. I could
not have imagined who would answer me.
Three years ago, we hosted a lovely young
French man named Benjamin in our home in Berlin. He came to us through
Couchsurfing and ended up staying for more than two weeks while attending a course
in Kreuzberg. While he lived with us, the older one of our two children turned five,
and Benjamin crafted an amazing airplane for him mostly out of used toilet
rolls and tape. He's always been specially remembered in our home, although we
never had a chance to meet again.
-Hola Tui, yo también estoy en Lima! Ben now wrote under my FB post. I had to
read it a couple of times to believe my eyes.
Benjamin had come just a week before me.
Together with his Peruvian wife and their little son they had just made the
decision to move from France to Peru.
And so it just happens that I'm staying with
them in the Surco district for my last two nights in Lima!
