Ancient brewery discovered on mountaintop in Perú
Field Museum online expedition still in progress describes discovery of 'Beer of Kings'

Archaeologists working in southern Peru found an ancient brewery more than 1,000 years old.

Peruvian Stalagmites Hold Clues to Climate Change
ScienceDaily (May 16, 2009) — How will the Netherlands, dominated by water, be affected by future climate change? Dutch researcher Martin van Breukelen hopes to answer that question by analyzing stalagmites from the South American Amazon tributaries in Peru as a way to reconstruct climate changes in the past. Information that can be used to test climate models is stored in various forms: in ice formations, plant remnants, oceans and caves.Two sides to "climate change"

By Dan Collyns BBC News, Lima Peru has announced that it will ban homosexuals from the police force for damaging the image of the institution.The law is one of several new regulations put forward by the Interior Minister, Mercedes Cabanillas.Ms Cabanillas is trying to shake up the institution, which has a dismal reputation among the general public.

Juan Diego Flórez was born in Lima, Peru on January 13, 1973 where his father, Rubén Flórez, was a noted guitarist and singer of Peruvian popular and criolla music. In an interview in the Peruvian newspaper Ojo, Flórez recounted his early days when his mother managed a pub with live music and he worked as a replacement singer whenever the main attraction called in sick. "It was a tremendous experience for me, since most of those who were regulars at the pub were of a certain age, so I had to be ready to sing anything from huaynos to Elvis Presley music and, in my mind, that served me a great deal because, in the final analysis, any music that is well structured - whether it is jazz, opera, or pop - is good music".

Now that I think about it, it's probably in exactly the same spot as Vietnamese Restaurant, but over on Bragg.Hey! Let's Eat - Flor de Mayo, New York
Flor de Mayo is one of my latest passions in Manhattan. Serving Cuban/Chinese cuisine, it's a New York phenomenon that started in the late 1950s when Cubans of Chinese heritage immigrated to New York after the revolution. Most of the immigrants took up residence on the Upper West Side, and Cuban/Chinese restaurants flourished.
