This summer, the summer after my sophomore year of college, I am traveling from Quito, Ecuador, to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Last month, I was in Peru for its presidential elections. The candidates were the radical Ollanta vs. the blah ex-president Alan García. Everyone in Peru is required to vote, so maybe I shouldn't have been surprised at the enormous amounts of propaganda. It was everywhere - posted in storefronts, spray-painted on walls, carved into hillsides, painted on boulders along the highway, blaring out of loud speakers on top of cars.
