Living in a foreign culture is like playing a game where the rules aren’t explained. A retired engineer from a small town on the Columbia River in Oregon moves to a large city on the Rio Piura in Peru and struggles to find some rules. This memoir of a year in Peru is warm and comical and affirms that the most important unwritten rule of any game is to enjoy it. 75 color photos are embedded in the text to better appreciate people, places, and things.
My wife of 38 years and I realized a lifelong dream of living as a couple in a foreign land when we moved to Peru to fulfill a 1-year Fulbright Teacher Exchange assignment. Teri taught and I wrote every day about our experiences. My journal launched as a how-to book about survival in another culture but philosophical currents swirled and Peruvian stories soon eddied into personal stories. Reflecting on my childhood and youth, love and marriage, family and friends, aging and cancer ultimately helped me better understand and appreciate the confusing cultural mores in the ancient land of the Incas.

I read this book in a day... I got completely caught up by the story and by how simply told it was, very easy to read. Two people learning the hard way about a new country and its culture... not everything the traveling brochures say is always true. The people, the neighborhoods, the working places... they're a complete different part of a country. The story is very honest, it tells the good and the bad, but always from a very positive yet analytic point of view. Plus, it reveals more sides of Peru that are not just Machu Picchu... i mean, for God's sake people! Peru is not just Cuzco! :) It also offers a few views on other nearby countries, which I also enjoyed knowing about. I recommend you reading this book if you're ever planning to move to Peru, just so you know what challenges you'll be facing.Product details

Days and Dazed in Peru eBook Lynnwood Leroy Coppedge Teri Coppedge Reviews
This was a thoroughly enjoyable read, filled with rich descriptions such that I could almost taste the wonderful food, want to attack the uncooperative ATM machines and feel the bumps in the road as we rode buses on the treacherous roads to new destinations. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves travel, experiencing different cultures and simply challenging themselves to be open to the unexpected wonders of a different way of life.
