SEVEN FLOWERS

I went on a school field trip to Tipon on Saturday. There I seen a Peruvian tradition in practice. Many Peruvian women (and maybe probably men too) believe that if you gather seven flowers, wrap them in a handkerchief and then sleep with them under your pillow for seven nights you will receive a lot of love. Love from your family, friends, colleagues and even enemies. The flowers must be wild and they must be seven different species. Most of the women in our group were gathering flowers as we hiked through the ruins and some risked breaking there neck to reach across streams for flowers, so it must really work.
