"In January 1997, I finally arrive at the end of the world. This is the southernmost lighthouse in South America. Beyond this is the South Pole. Suddenly I feel like going home. Even though home is far away. At that moment it feels very close."

The Skies over Ayacucho

I had stayed for about 1 month at Ayacucho, Peru during my last Latin America trip. That was because I was learning Spanish language there and I liked this city. I think that was the longest time to stay in one city during my trip for 235 days in Latin America. Ayacucho is located on the high mountain of the Andes in Peru. Elevation is 2,761 m. That's what Ayacucho is far higher than Mt. Baekdu where is the highest mountain in Korea. I don't know that's the reason. When the sun went down beyond the mountains, sky looked like unrealistic. The sky was colored with pastel colors. It was so impressive, so I stopped walking on the street and just stood there drinking in that sky.

백두산보다 높은 페루의 고산도시, 아야쿠초에 한달간 머물렀었다. 외국인들이라고는 봉사활동을 온 몇몇 사람들이 대부분이었던 아야쿠초에서 스페인어를 배웠다. 한달 넘게 머물렀으니 아마 그곳이 지난 중남미 여행 중에 가장 오래 머물었던 도시인 것 같다. 해발 2761 미터, 안데스 산맥에 있는 곳이라 그런가? 해가 질 때가 참 멋있었다. 마치 누가 천장에 파스텔톤으로 하늘을 그려놓은 곳에 들어와 있는 것 같았던, 천국의 하늘이 이럴지도 모른다는 이상한 생각도 잠시나마 했었던, 그저 자리에 서서 넋을 놓고 바라볼 수 밖에 없었던, 아야쿠초의 비현실적이었던 하늘. 다시 보고 싶군... - by 글솜씨 없는
