Who is the most Gringa of them all??

ME!!! Literally, the other day I was visiting someone with my Argentinian sister Alejandra, and the woman told me that I was the most gringa person she has ever seen.



( 'Gringo' refers to a person from the United States, and sometimes is more generalized to refer to any person not from Latin America. 'Gringa' is the feminine form.)

Then two days later a little boy asked me why I had yellow hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes. His grandmother explained.

Yesterday I spent five minutes convincing someone that I had never dyed my hair.

I am a freak show more or less. I am happy I can provide Peru with a little entertainment.

So, in case you were perplexed by the title of this blog, I hope you now have a better understanding.
