The pots are prickly, bottles are squeezed to discard the last drop of liquor, bands play the most nostalgic songs and the dancers run the more difficult stunts to pay homage to those who left for better life. Do but… there's better life to be alive and eat Peruvian food?. That alone will know to see the light at the end of the road.
