I touched her lamb

Pretty much anyplace in Peru that is touristy, has girls and women dressed up in traditional Peruvian outfits. You're supposed to give them money to take their picture. One girl I saw was sitting on the steps of a Cathedral holding a lamb and the lamb was apparently not turning its head the way she wanted because I kid you not, she punched it square in the head. As soon as she saw I was watching her, she put a big grin on her face and tried looking all cute. I was on to her, though. There was no way I was going to give a sol (1 sol = $.38) to that little animal abuser. Instead, I gave a dollar to this cute little, old lady in exchange for a picture and, me being me, permission to pet her lamb.
