Day 61: Barranca, Peru

I get one question from the locals when they find out where I am from, and as you might of guessed, "Hillary or Trump, whose gonna win?"  Since I have no interest in having that discussion, I use my standard response of "I guess we will soon find out."  Regardless of my standard evasive maneuver, they go on and state their preference - let's be honest, they didn't care about my opinion to begin with, they just wanted an opening to state theirs - and there is one clear preference to that question.  The funny thing is that the preference is always stated using Trump as the bench mark, and the responses are either "Trump" or "Trump..wait for dramatic pause...never."  I have a feeling the answer would be the same regardless who he was running against, Bernie, Obama, or a trained seal.  As far as who the preference has been, I'm not saying.
